PREFACE.

In the beginning of my researches which ultimately led to the
production of this volume, I had no thought of attempting to write
a general genealogy of the Fairbanks Family. My purpose was to
study, in a superficial way, the history of the early families, and,
particularly, to trace my own lineage. Proceeding with this end in
view, my investigations very soon naturally took a wider range, and
were continued, with a constantly increasing interest in the subject,
till I had practically laid the foundation of the more ambitious project
upon which I finally entered with more courage than foresight.

Of the magnitude of the undertaking I had no adequate concep-
tion. It is perhaps fortunate that such was the case, for had I been
able to estimate or even imagine the amount of labor it would involve,
— that four years of persistent, unremitting and often disheartening
toil, would scarcely suffice to bring me within sight of the end, this
book might never have been written. If, therefore, the numerous
descendants of the immigrant family, can read in these pages their
title clear to a time-honored ancestry, they may rejoice that, at the
outset, ignorance, and not knowledge, or prescience, allowed temerity
rather than halting prudence, to carry the banner.

Two pamphlets on the subject had previously been published, —
one of seventy-two pages, in 1892, by Rev. Henry Fairbanks, of St.
Johnsbury, Vt, entitled " The Fairbanks Genealogy," a revised edition
of one which had been prepared and printed in 1885 by his father,
Mr. Thaddeus Fairbanks ; the other soon after by Charles H. Fair-
banks, of Homer, N. Y., under the title of " The Fairbanks Family
Record," containing thirty pages. Both of these publications furnished
much valuable information, though they related chiefly to the branch
of the original family to which the authors belong. By permission of
these gentlemen, to whom thanks are tendered for the favor, a free
use has been made of the contents of these pamphlets in the prepa-
ration of this volume. Rev. Francis J. Fairbanks of Royalston, Mass.,
placed in my hands an unpublished manuscript, containing a very
valuable collection of statistics relating to all branches of the family,
which from time to time for several years he had been gathering.
For the use of this collection, which has been of great benefit, and
for his continued assistance in many ways, especially in solving some
difficult problems, I tender to him my grateful acknowledgments.

Preface.

To carry on the work thusi*begun, information was sought from
every available source, including town and church records and his-
tories, probate records and registries of deeds, genealogies, magazines
and other publications, state archives and reports, and especially from
numerous correspondents, representative men and women of the prog*
eny of Jonathan, by whose earnest and highly appreciated co-opera-
tion the value of this contribution to the general history of the family
has been greatly enhanced.

The results are embodied in this book, which is submitted to all
who may be interested, in the hope that they may enjoy a full measure
of satisfaction in the perusal of its contents.

It would be idle to claim that the book is perfect, or that it is as
complete as it might be made. There are still unexplored fields.
Doubtless some families have not been reached at all, while there are
known to be omissions which might have been supplied by proper
efforts on the part of individuals from whom information was sought
A few who have discourteously refused or neglected to answer circu-
lars and letters addressed to them, have only themselves to blame for
the consequences. Others who have earnestly endeavored to find
their places in the ranks, but have failed, deserve sympathy, and it is
hoped they may yet discover the missing links.

Beside omissions, there are in all probability many errors of more
or less consequence, as there must inevitably be in every similar work,
since, with the utmost care, it is practically impossible to avoid them.
For all faults and mistakes my share of blame will be borne with due
humility, while a little self examination by complainants, if there shall
be any, may lead them to be charitable towards others who have
fallen short of infallibility.

MEMOIR.

The preceding preface was written and in type, on the date men-
tioned therein ; reprinting these pages gives opportunity to record
the sad event of the death of the author and compiler of this
Genealogy. He left his office on the afternoon of the 21st of May,
for his home, in his usual health ; four hours later he was prostrated
by a stroke of apoplexy, and at one o'clock the following morning,
he passed from time into eternity.

Fortunately for the work which he had undertaken, the work in
which his life seemed centred, fortunately for the great family of
which he was a member, and for whom he has performed a work of
incalculable importance, he was a man accustomed to conflict with
obstacles and overcome them. The entire manuscript upon which
he had been engaged for upwards of five years, had been in the
hands of the printers for some time, 624 pages had passed under
his revision and been printed, and he was looking forward to the
completion of the book, during June, with much pleasure, as his
labors would be completed, and he be enabled to take a needed rest
at the old New Hampshire homestead.

Mr. Fairbanks was a man highly esteemed and respected by all
who knew him ; a man of fine abilities, with a pleasing manner, a
strong personality, kind and genial, making friends wherever
he went. It has been the privilege of the writer to come in
personal touch and sympathy with him and his work during the year
1896, and to be of some assistance in collating and arranging the
manuscripts, and therefore can bear personal testimony to the worth
of the author, and the historian of the Fairbanks family. From all
sections of the country, from the numerous correspondents with
whom he had pleasant intercourse, come heartfelt words of condo-
lence and sympathy to the stricken household. Rev. Edward T.
Fairbanks, D. D., of St. Johnsbury, Vt, writes : " I am much pained
to hear of the death of our cousin Lorenzo ; though I had never met
him, our correspondence led me to feel a personal regard and
interest in him, which I hoped might be some time deepened by
better acquaintance ; moreover I could not but admire the style in
which he was pushing this genealogical enterprise to its issue. I
greatly regret that I have not had the pleasure of meeting him. It

is evident that his book will -be a lasting monument to his memory,
all the more valuable because not built for that."

Rev. Robert MacDonald, pastor of the Warren Ave. Baptist
church, said at the funeral services, " It is a great thing, believe me,
to so live, that something tangible and efficient will be left when our
achievements here are over ; this book is not the grandest monument
that this brother has left to his friends and to the world, he builded
much better than that ; every one that bears testimony to it says the
same, all his friends speak of him as being an upright man, a good
man."

Not now, but in the coming years,

It may be in the better land ;
We '11 read the meaning of our tears,

And there, sometime, we '11 understand.

It was the earnest desire of the daughters of Mr. Fairbanks, as
also that of his son-in-law, Mr. Willard £. Dow, that the work thus
laid down by their father might be carried to completion, and at their
request, the writer has undertaken the task according to the plan
as outlined by the author. Mr. Dow was appointed administrator of
the estate, and immediately made arrangements with the printers
whereby he guaranteed to carry out with them the contract made for
the publication of the book. The foregoing preface would doubtless
have been rewritten or an introduction added, had the author lived,
for among the papers on his desk was an extended preface, wherein
he mentions by name many of his correspondents who had " rendered
the most conspicuous services, and deserve honorable mention."

Whilst not undervaluing the assistance of the many, the writer
of this Memoir thinks that special note should be made of the
following, the quotations being from the pen of the author.

" Capt. Henry N. Fairbanks, of Bangor, Me. (546), who voluntarily
offered to pay all the expenses of collecting information concerning
one Maine branch of the family, has expended quite a large sum,
besides ordering several copies of the book for distribution."

«

"Hiram T. Fairbanks, of Petaluma, Cal. (511), has assisted me
to hunt for • footprints in the sands of time ' of his forefathers, whose
elusive shadow I had pursued in vain for a long time."

" Prof. Henry Fairbanks, of St. Johnsbury, Vt (628), and Dr.
Edward T. Fairbanks (629), his cousin, furnished a good account of
their line back to Jonathan the first, and when my work was well
advanced, the former remitted me a check as a cure for shrinking
muscles and threatened exhaustion, and later on sent another."

MEMOIR

44 Nathaniel K. Fairbank, of Chicago (789), early sent a remit-
tance to remind me that some other kinds of business are more profit-
able than the writing of genealogies and selling them at five dollars
per copy when they cost ten, and also promised another remem-
brance ere the book was completed."

" There were missing tribes in Connecticut, connecting links in a
chain from an unknown ancestor to Samuel Fairbanks of Ridgefield ;
at the solicitation of his sister, Mrs. Jeannie Marks Strange, of Irving-
ton-on-the-Hudson, Henry A. Taylor of New York (211), offered
one hundred dollars for their discovery, though as he said, he was
only of Fairbanks descent in a female line through generations. The
task of unearthing them was undertaken by Hon. John W. Fairbank,
and after many days he succeeded ; this was one of the most difficult
cases."

" Dea. Joseph Fairbank, of Ladoga, Wis. (367), did remarkable
work for a man of his age (80 years old), collecting most of the statis-
tics relating to his branch of the family in the line of John of
Readsborough (151), down to the present time, paying his own trav-
eling expenses, besides contributing towards my further researches in
Massachusetts."

"Ernest Hayward Fairbanks, of Philadelphia (1070), has taken a
deep interest in the work, sending his check for several copies of the
books, adding quite an amount, as he said, for the general good of
the cause, as postage stamps cost money, and town clerks will not
work free."

" Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indianapolis (863), though over-
burdened with his arduous duties, found time to respond satisfactorily
to my request for information, with a hearty good will, ordering five
copies of the book, one for each of his children, in order that they
might be able to point, with reasonable pride to their distinguished
patriotic ancestry, contributing also in other ways financially to the
success of the work."

" Dr. Henry C. Fairbank, of Flint, Mich. (720), and Aramel Dean
(153), his cousin, brought me a bottle of nerve medicine and a pair
of 'seven-league boots,' to spur me on when almost in the last
ditch, to continue a long chase after a missing ancestor. The lost
one was found to the great joy of his living descendants, and brought
into the ranks with flying colors. Both of these gentlemen also aided
in other ways, and supplied a considerable amount of genealogical
information."

" Rev. Calvin Fairbank, of Angelica, N. Y. (469), that grand old
champion of human rights under Divine Law, as against the provi-
sions of the natural constitution and state laws sanctioning human
bondage, did valiant service in shaking dry bones in the field of
genealogy, and furnishing accounts of his near kith and kin.

FAIRBANKS GENEALOGY,

Though seriously hampered in many instances, by the lack of vital
records, and having to trust largely to his memory, he supplied a
good deal of useful information, while his vigorous contentions and
disputed questions were decidedly entertaining. May his brave life
yet be spared many years, and when he " slips into the shining sea,"
may his soul, like John Brown's, still go marching on."

" Harold W. Fairbanks, the eminent scientist of Berkeley, Cal.
(1154), while pursuing his laborious investigations into the geologi-
cal character of the Pacific Coast mountain ranges, took time to turn
his attention to genealogical studies long enough to consider what he
knew or could find out about his ancestors and their progeny. He
succeeded in finding a few fossil remains and a fair assortment of
living specimens of a kindred race."

"Frank Burr Fairbanks, of Chicago (1102), prepared the tables
in his branch of the family, beginning with Nahum, of Athol, Mass.,
and they were written in such fine style that they required no editing.
He had previously gathered some of the materials, but had been
unable to discover the antecedents of Nahum. Being put on the
track he entered upon his work with enthusiastic zeal."

" Charles M. Fairbanks, of New York (977), and his father, Abel W.
Fairbanks, late of Boston (608), deceased, aided by his accomplished
wife, rendered valuable assistance, for which I am sincerely grateful."

" Rev. John B. Fairbank, D. D., of Waverly, 111. (796), and several
near relatives living in Jacksonville, 111., and Oakham, Mass., ren-
dered important services, for which they have very grateful acknowl-
edgment."

Only those who have prepared similar works, can fully realize,
not only the time and labor put into the preparation of this book,
but also the money expended in gathering together the data, and the
impossibility for financial returns to come in from the books sold, to
repay these outlays."

There probably is not another person in all our great family who
would have undertaken this task; in the evening of life he began it;
the burden has been laid down. Strange, indeed, it seems to us,
that just as he was about to realize the fulfilment of his desires, he
should be taken away, but " his immortality is assured, in the life that
he has lived with his friends and associates, in his life in the business
world, in his life with his family, his immortal spirit is safe in God's
keeping." For the valuable information contained in these pages,
as well as for his self-sacrificing life, .he will ever be held in honored
remembrance by all members of the " Fairbanks Family."

ORTHOGRAPHY OF THE NAME

The old English orthography of the family surname was Faire-
banke or Fairbanke, frequently written in the seventeenth century
with two small fs in place of a capital F, as were also other names
beginning with the same sound, such as ffoster, ffisher, ffarrington,
ffreeman ; and, according to a prevailing practice, aye and ay were
often written for the modern diphthong at in the first syllable, the
same as in Fayerbrother and Fayerweather.

In their signatures to the Dedham Covenant, Jonathan, senior,
John and George wrote their surname Fayerbanke, and Jonathan,
junior, wrote it Fayerbank. Jona- ^

the selectmen of Dedham, Aug. 30, v »' w

1658, this being a fac-simile of his autograph, now preserved in the
Massachusetts Archives at the State House, Vol. CXI., page 29.

In 1684 John signed his will John Fairbanck, but the surname of
his sons, Joseph and Benjamin, mentioned therein, was written, with
an occasional variation, Fairbanks, and their descendants have
always spelled it that way. The other Dedham families and the
descendants of George, with some exceptions, notably in the line of
Dr. Jonathan, sooner or later adopted the same style. Some suppose
the change originated in copying ancient documents, in which the
final *was frequently written like the modern x, and so the name
was read Fairbanks, which became the accepted patronymic.

Jonas and his descendants for many generations adhered to the
original name, or, rather, dropped the final e, but did not substitute
x. But about the beginning of this century some of the families,
chiefly among those who emigrated from Lancaster and the vicinity
to other parts of the country, changed it to Fairbanks. Gradually
others have fallen into line, until at the present day Fairbanks is
not uncommon in this branch of the family.

Individuals did not always spell their names the same way, and
scriveners, town clerks and registrars, who, in the flippant language
of a modern reporter, " could n't spell worth a cent," were rather
reckless of standards, if they had any. Thus in the body of the
will of Jonathan, it was spelled in four different ways, — ffarbanke,
ffarebanke, ffarebanks, and Fairebancke; in the Inventory it was

than, senior, signed a petition to

written Fairbanke, and a certified copy of the will was indorsed
"Will of Jonathan Farbanke," while the attestation was "a true
copy of the will of Jonathan Fayerbank, senyore."

The following happy dash at the subject is quoted from a letter
received from John B. Fairbank, Esq., a lawyer of Deadwood, So.
Dakota.

" I hope you will be able to determine the correct spelling of our name, for
I would like to know whether I am singular or plural. In the Dedham records
I found the name spelled every way that letters could be combined to make either
Fairbank or Fairbanks. Our ancestors were evidently not so illiterate that they
could spell their name but one way.

" My father used to tell of a tradition that two brothers, probably sons of
the original Jonathan, agreed the one to add a final s, the other to keep it off
their respective names, so that their descendants could be distinguished from one
another, but they left no record of • which was which,' and it seems that their
descendants did not consider themselves bound by the covenant, for I find both
names among the progeny of each.

" I have somewhere read that the final s in many English names, as Adams,
Stevens, etc., is a corruption. A friend of my father of the same name from
North England, a gentleman of excellent parts, used to insist that the name was
written without a final s, and in evidence referred to the origin of the name, and
said that still in rural Yorkshire the child is often called the 'bank,' and that a
fair baby would be called a Yzixbanl', as in Scotland it would be called a Fair-
bairn, or in South England a TvSxckUd, and the names are of identical origin. I
don't suppose a congress of all the Fairbanks living, or who ever have lived,
could agree further than to ask « what 's in a name? ' "

HISTORY OF THE IMMIGRANT FAMILY

Jonathan Fairebanke (Fairbank, Fairbanks) came from Sowefby
in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, to Boston, Mass., in the
year 1638, and in 1636 settled in Dedharn, Mass., where he built the
noted " Old Fairbanks House " which is still standing as an ancient
landmark, the oldest dwelling house in New England that, for the same
period of time, has been continuously owned and occupied by the
builder and his lineal descendants. Only a few houses, or parts of
houses of the same age remain, and most of these are in ruins. It is,
moreover, a remarkable fact, perhaps unparalleled in this country, that
during all this time, two and a half centuries, the estate has never had
a mortgage incumbrance upon it.

This house is now historically famous, and is an object of great in-
terest to many visitors to the old town of Dedharn. On the 20th of
June 1895, a new Court House was dedicated in that town and Hon.
Frederick D. Ely delivered an historical address on the occasion.
Speaking of old landmarks he referred to the old house in the follow-
ing words :

" In a neighboring street stands a dwelling house, erected early
in the last half of the seventeenth century. It is warped and worn by
the sunshine and the storms of its nearly 250 years. Winter and
summer, frost and heat have done much to undermine its symmetry,
and its leaning walls and sloping floors are only held in place by its
frame of massive oak. Yet hundreds, I may safely say thousands, of
men and women come from far and near to view and examine the old
Fairbanks house in every minutest particular, while they scarcely ac-
cord a passing glance to the magnificent and costly modern mansion
on the opposite side of the street."

It has been claimed that this house was built in 1636. This claim
has been the subject of considerable discussion among historians,
and is disputed on historical grounds. One, at least, expresses the
belief that it was not built till about the year 1654. The chief reason
assigned for his belief is that the old house is a framed building of
massive oak timber, and that there is no historical evidence that any
framed dwelling houses were erected in the town as early as 1636.
Against this alleged fact is the tradition that the frame of the main
part of the house, together with the bricks and tiles and windows,

was imported from England, and remained in Boston for several
months before it was carried to Dedham.

The truth is that the house was not built as it stands at one time,
or in one year; and it is certain that Jonathan owned a house
situated probably on the same lot in 1648. In the valuation of
houses, made in that year for the purpose of assessing the " country
rate," there were enumerated eighty-one houses, ranging in value
from ;£45, the highest, to £% the lowest, omitting fractions. The
valuation of Jonathan Fairbanke's house was ,£28, and only eight
houses were estimated higher. The highest valuation, ;£45, was
placed upon the house of Rev. John Allin, pastor of the church.

Subsequently, perhaps as late as 1654, a large addition was
made to the original b.uilding, which was called the new house, which
is said to have been built for the occupation of his son John after
his marriage. In the Inventory of Jonathan's personal estate taken
after his death in 1668, some things are mentioned as contained in
certain " rooms in the new house." From these facts and circum-
stances, particularly the fact that he owned a lot of land prior to
May 1637, it is not unreasonable to conclude that he built a house
in 1636, or soon after, which is a part of the present building, or in a
short time was replaced by a framed structure to which the addition
was made some years later.

He had a family consisting of his wife and six children, four sons
and two daughters, namely, John, George, Mary, Susan, Jonas and
Jonathan, who were all born in England. Of the ages of his chil-
dren when he arrived here we can judge only by circumstances. The
dates of their births, except one, have not been ascertained. Mary
was born, according to a descendant of the Metcalf family, Apr. 18,
1622. If she was the third child, we may judge approximately of
the ages of the rest ; but the places of the daughters, as given in the
table, may not be correct. In 1638 John was appointed, with John
Rogers, to survey the Charles River, and he was married in 1641.
George was married in 1646 ; Jonas in 1658 ; and Jonathan, the
youngest son, about 1653.

The town of Dedham was established and named by the General
Court the "10th of yc 7 Moneth, 1636," upon a petition signed by
twenty-two persons, in connection with a grant of land in addition to
a "grante formerly made of a Plantacion above the Falls," with
" Immunitie from publike Charges " for three years. Thereupon the
" Dedham Covenant " was drawn up and signed by the petitioners
and others.

U

The covenant was in the nature of a mutual compact concerning
the future management of the affairs of the town. It was signed by
one hundred and twenty-five persons, and among them were Jonathan
Fayerbanke, John Fayerbanke, George Fayerbanke and Jonathan
Fayerbank, Jun. Not all of this number, however, subscribed in
1636, but some of them from time to time as they were admitted
townsmen.

Jonathan Fearbanke being p'sented by John Dwite was accepted and sub-
scribed."

John was admitted townsman and signed the covenant as early as
1642 ; George about 1051, and Jonathan in 1654.

It would appear that the lands were originally granted to individ-
uals in twelve and eight-acre lots, for among the earliest town pro-
ceedings it was

" Ordered that euery Twelve Acre Lott shall haue foure acres of swampe
granted in the first grante there vnto besids what may be granted in any deuident
of swampe that may afterward be layed out. And that also; in like manner
euery Eight Acre Lott shall haue the like grante of three acres of swampe layed
out as due there vnto."

It was also

" Ordered that euery man that hath an whole Lott shall haue so many Acres
of Meadowe as he hath vpland in his first grante for an house Lott". where of
part of such pcells of Meadowe as lyeth adioyneing to his said Lott shall be
granted to him in pt and the remainder shall be made vp else where."

Before 1637, Jonathan Fairbanke had been granted at least a
twelve-acre lot with four acres of swamp land, for in that year he
received as his proportion of a further allotment four acres of
'* Swampe " land. The additional grant was made because " vpon a
good vie we taken of yc Swampes next ye Towne they are fownd to be
soe greate yl yc formr pportion allotted to men will not be neere suffi-
cient to cleere them." But it was provided that a fourth part of such
extra land, if accepted, should be cleared every year, and *' whoso-
ever shallbe found defective shall for eury defaulte " forfeit and pay
for the benefit of the town the price "of an Ewe kid of Eight weeks
old."

given to him in 1642, in place thereof, " Sixe acres in y* medowe

as without," to his wife, Grace. Small bequests were then made to
his " second sonne," George, to his "daughter Mary, wife of
Christopher Smith," to Jonas, to Jonathan, to Sarah, eldest daughter
of his "sonne John," and to Ralph Daye, his "sonne in lawe," (hus-
band of Susan), and to "each of the foure Children of the said
Ralph." Finally he bequeathed to John, his eldest son, all his
" houses & lands whatsoeur, not being foremerly aboue (mentioned ? )
together with all my common Rightes & towne pruiliges whatsouer,

to haue posses & injoy the same (----)& his heyers ( ) to enter

vpon all my lands forthwith after my decease ; and all my houses and
yardes at the end of foure mo'nthes next following the same." And
he made him sole Executor of the will.

The father, it would seem, had a good opinion of the English law
of primogeniture, and so John, his eldest son, came into possession of
the homestead. From that time down to July, 1892, the old house
was continuously occupied by him and his descendants, Joseph,
Joseph 2d, Ebenezer, Ebenezer 2d, Prudence, Sarah (Sally), Nancy,
and Rebecca, the last of the family tenants. In July, 1892, the house
was struck by lightning and considerably damaged. Miss Rebecca's
pet dog, lying under the bed where she was sleeping, was killed, but
she escaped with a severe shock. Shortly after this event, deeming
the house no longer a desirable place of abode, she abandoned it,
leaving a strange family in charge, and removed to Boston. Thus
for the first time in over two hundred and fifty years the old house
was occupied by persons not " to the manor born." But after spend-
ing several months in Boston she returned to dwell in the time-honored
mansion, of which she was then the sole owner, and is still living
there (Fall of 1896). ►

John married Sarah Fiske in 1641. He lived for a time, it is sup-
posed, in a house of his own, but later, after his father had built an
addition to his house, he occupied with his family a part of it before
his father's death.

Two grants of land were made to him by the town, viz. : in 1G40,
six acres " at yc east end of his Fathrs Lott," and, in 1642, two acres
seventeen rods " upland fit for improuement with the plough." In
1056 he received, with others, " common rights according to the pro-
portion of his estate," eight and three-fourths acres.

In 1663 he was sent by the selectmen of Dedham in company
with Daniel Fisher to examine the land at Deerfield, then called Pet-
umtuck.

His name appears many times in the Town Records, and he held
some local offices. He "was received into yc X 4d 3m 1651."

George, the second son of Jonathan, resided in Dedham till about
the year 1657, when he removed to Medfield (now Med way). In
1648 he owned some land and a dwelling house in Dedham. In that
year he was granted a small parcel of land " as it lye against the side
of his own yard for an enlargement and to set a Barne vpon it."

He had acquired some interest in lands in Medfield prior to the
death of his father, as appears by an item in the latter's will, which
see, page 33.

He established in Medfield, afterward Medway, a homestead
which remained in the family for several generations. It was held
in whole or in part by four Georges in succession, then by Silas and
his son Silas, the last of the name who lived on it, about the year
1820. He was undoubtedly the first to settle within the territory of
Medway. His dwelling was the famous stone house near the north-
ern border of Bogestow Pond in the eastern part of the town, which
is now included within the limits of the town of Millis, incorporated
in 1885. That which has been more recently known as the Fair-
banks farm was the southern portion of his large landed estate.
The Inventory of his estate mentions three hundred acres adjacent
to his homestead, and a small lot lying between that tract and the
homestead.

The stone house occupied by him was originally a garrison house,
built by the residents of Bogestow farms unitedly as a place of refuge
and defence, to which they could flee in times of danger from the
attacks of hostile Indians. It was sixty-five or seventy feet long, and
two stories high. The wails were built of flat stones laid in clay
mortar. It had a double row of port holes on all sides, and was
lined with heavy oak plank. The stones have all been carried away,
and there is now nothing left to mark the spot where the building
stood.

In 1662 George, with thirteen of his neighbors, signed the first
petition for the incorporation of Sherborn. Again, in 1674, he and

twelve others signed a second petition which was successful, and by
an Act of the General Court, the petitioners and twenty more of such
as they might consent to receive as inhabitants were constituted a
proprietor of lands now comprising Sherborn, Holliston and large
districts of Framingham and Ashland. After the formation of the
town he seems to have been an active citizen, engaged in public
affairs. For four years he was selectman, and was chosen on a com-
mittee to engage and settle a minister. His sudden death by drown-
ing in 1682 was a great loss in the new settlement.

His son, Jonathan, appears to have inherited the northern and
eastern part of his farm, including the stone house. He too was
drowned, in 1719, while attempting to cross the river from Medfield.
The farm then fell into the hands of his two sons, Samuel and Jona-
than, a part of which was sold to their uncle, George, who occupied
the southwestern portion of the original homestead, the place now
occupied by Frank E. Cook. See History of Medway% by Rev. E. O.
Jameson.

George was a man of sterling character, and a model pioneer. His
descendants are found in almost every state of the Union, and in
Canada and Nova Scotia. Everywhere they are noted for their high
character, morality and intelligence. They are proud to call the
"second son " of Jonathan their ancestor, and to know that his suc-
cessors down to the present time have well and nobly maintained the
honor of his name. Like all the original settlers of New England,
they were at first mostly farmers. They hewed their way into the pri-
meval forests, established homes, and did their share in laying broad
and deep the foundations of a great and prosperous nation. But
mechanical ability is a family characteristic, and many of them en-
gaged naturally in the various industrial pursuits. At the same time
they have always taken an active interest in the cause of education,
and they have had a good representation in the learned professions.
Jonathan, a son of George, was the first physician of Sherborn, and
his son Jonathan followed the same profession. In later generations
we find many instances of successful business careers, while not a
few have risen to distinction in broader fields of usefulness.

Jonas, the third son of Jonathan, removed to Lancaster in 1657,
and became the progenitor of numerous families scattered through
the New England and Western States. He signed the Covenant
Mar. 7, IG59. In his family there was good ancestral stock on both

sides of the house. He was a strong man, both in his mental and his
physical personality. It may be presumed that he had received as
fair an education and training as were afforded in the new settlement
of Dedham where, as we know, the school and the church went hand
in hand with the founding of homes, while his earlier education was
no doubt begun in England. In short, he was qualified to be what
he was called, " one of the fathers of the town." His wife was a
daughter of John Prescott, who, as the historian declares, " was a rare
type of man, the ideal pioneer." "Not one," he says, "of the famous
frontiersmen, whose figures stand out so prominently in early Amer-
ican history, was better equipped with the many qualities that win
hero worship in a new country than was (he) the father of the Nash-
away Plantation." The story of his life is indeed interesting, but
only this bare glimpse of his character can be given here.

The children of Jonas appear to have been well educated for the
times. Jabez, his only son who left any male descendants, shines in
history. His military despatches preserved in the records show him
to have been a man of marked intellectual ability, and he was certainly
a hero of great physical stamina and bravery. His children and their
descendants contributed largely to the population of Lancaster and
the neighboring towns, especially Sterling and Harvard, originally
parts of Lancaster. The name did honor to the towns in those days.
The marriages were generally with the foremost families.

Living representatives of this sturdy stock are among the best
men and women of the country. They possess in an eminent degree
the qualifications due to their ancient inheritance and fortunate suc-
cessions in after generations. Among them are many fine illustra-
tions of the solid truth that " blood will tell," and their blood is not
thin enough to be very "blue." Many of the men are athletes of
splendid proportions, and manly vigor and intellectual force are com-
mon qualities. They are engaged in all the respectable occupations
of life ; are well represented in the learned professions, while in the
arena of business there are conspicuous examples of successful and
honorable careers. Some of them are prominent and active workers
in missionary fields abroad, as will be seen by their records hereafter
presented. From the earliest times they have been noted for their
interest in education, and in the present generations they are in this
respect keeping pace with the progress of the age.

Jonas was killed, with his son Joshua, by the Indians in the des-
perate assault made upon the settlement by King Philip, with fifteen
hundred warriors, on the morning of the tenth day of February

1675-G, in which from fifty to fifty five persons, out of about the
same number of families, were massacred and twenty or more were
carried into captivity. His son Jonathan and one of his children
were victims of the massacre of Sept. 22, 1C97. Thus, except for
the escape of Jabez in the first Indian raid, this branch of the family,
in the male lines, would have been exterminated. Jabez lived to
rear a large family, and by heroic bravery to avenge the atrocities
by which not only his own family, but more than fifty others suffered
in those dark days.

Jonathan, the youngest son of Jonathan, senior, remained in
Dedham, and some of his descendants have always resided there and
in the neighboring towns, though many of them removed in early
times to other States, particularly Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
Hampshire and Vermont, where, as well as in New York and the
Western States, a considerable number of families are now living.

He was a man of vigorous constitution, of good executive ability,
and a highly respected citizen. He lived to be nearly eighty years
of age ; and his wife died only six years earlier. His descendants,
wherever found, bear the stamp of their rich inheritance of sterling
qualities of character, and among them there have been many
remarkable instances of longevity.

The following Petition presented by him is here inserted as an interesting histor-
ical document.

According to current traditions the remote ancestors of Jonathan
Fairebanke, senior, lived in Scotland, but there is some reason for
believing that they were of ancient Norman Stock, for it is said that
two Coats of Arms, one claimed as belonging to the Lancashire branch
of the family, and the other to the Yorkshire branch, can be traced
back to the time of William the Conqueror. The names Ferbanc and
Fairbrae have been mentioned in this connection.

Of his immediate English ancestors we have but little knowledge.
They were, it is said, mostly small farmers and tradesmen, but people
of substantial and worthy character. Jonathan was evidently not of
the ignorant lower classes, but had a fair education, and was, says
tradition, a man of strong common sense, sound judgment and good
executive ability. His name appears frequently in the History of
Dedham. He held some minor town offices, but apparently was not
prominent in public affairs. He appears rather as a sturdy, industrious,
thrifty and independent pioneer, content to live and labor within the
sphere in which his lot had been cast.

" It seems evident," says an able correspondent, " that he was a man of strong
individuality, and that characteristic, at least, his descendants undoubtedly retain
to a large extent, for we find many instances of dogged tenacity of purpose mark-
ing the actions of individuals in each generation, by means of which they have
raised themselves to high rank in their respective callings, and we are fully entitled
to claim that the average position which has been attained by the members of the
family in the communities in which they have labored, has been such as to mark
it as a family second to none in any respect on this side of the Atlantic."

There are good grounds for the inference that he possessed more
ample means than the average immigrant of those days. He was able
to bring his entire family with him and support them in Boston till he
found a satisfactory location for a permanent home. Having done
that, he very soon erected a dwelling house of more than ordinary

pretensions, and of such substantial character that it has withstood the
ravages of time and been handed down to his successors through eight
generations. A few years later he was engaged in preparing the way
for advancing settlements in the wilderness on the west in Medfield,
where afterward his son George established his home, buying lands,
clearing off the forests, and building roads, an enterprise which required
some capital, as well as courage. And he left at his death consider-
able property.

Nearly all persons in the United States, bearing the name of
Fairbanks or Fairbank, except by marriage, are related by direct
descent from Jonathan, the first, while there are many others who
take a justifiable pride in tracing their lineage back to mothers born
to the inheritance. A few bear the name by legal adoption, and in
some instances, other names have been changed to Fairbanks. One
James Fairbank, who lived near Hull, England, came to this country
for his health, and went to Buffalo, N. Y., about 1884, and another of
the name, a recent immigrant, is said to be living in Boston. John
Fairbanks, born in England, lived in Mississippi, where he was mar-
ried in 1840, and had a family. He went to Cincinnati in 1846, and
left that city to go to California, but was never afterward heard from,
and is supposed to have been lost at sea. Other families of the same
name are now living in England. Ruth Fairbank of Hipperholme,
England, married Robert Field, Nov. 23, 1624, and he was in Newport,
R. I., Aug. 1, 1638. And Jonathan left behind him a cousin, George
Fairebanke, who made his will in 1650, at " Sowerby in yc Vickeridge
of Halifax & County of York "— " Vera copia, Concordance wth the
original," was sent in an envelope handsomely addressed as follows :

but no further trace of him has been discovered. See deed of John

Daniel and Christopher Fairbanks, woollen waste dealers, live in
Milrowe near Rochdale, or did a few years ago, and their sister, Mrs.
Frances Fairbanks Lord, in Elland, three miles from Sowerby. Their
father was John Fairbanks, who owned a farm in Bachisland in Hal-
ifax, to which place his father, Christopher Fairbanks, moved from
Sowerby, four miles away, about a hundred years ago. The father
of this Christopher used to speak of his Uncle (great uncle?) Jona-
than, who went to America. Others of the name live in Halifax,
Bachisland near Coventry Hall, Butterball, Norland and other vil-
lages in this hill country on the border of Yorkshire and Lancashire.
Old Sowerby is now a small hamlet, four miles from Halifax, and
twenty-two from Manchester, while Sowerby Bridge, a railway and
manufacturing village, has grown up a mile below.

It is therefore not improbable that other individuals of this name,
and perhaps of the same English ancestry, have come to our shores.
Yet it may be safely asserted that no ancient line of families can be
found here that are not of the posterity of Jonathan of Dedham.

THE COAT OF ARMS

The foregoing representation of the supposed Fairbanks Coat of
Arms, is here inserted for what it is worth, on the strength of prevailing
traditions, and in compliance with the wishes of others who believe
that these traditions are not without some substantial foundation.

These arms, it is said, have been claimed by the Yorkshire families
for centuries, and their origin is believed to antedate the time when
coat armor became hereditary in England. It is not, however, in the
power of the writer to point to any satisfactory historical evidence on
the subject. Some investigations have been made by several interested
individuals, but, so far as known, they have failed to make any valuable
discoveries. Furthermore, if the name of the original knight could be
ascertained, it is far beyond the scope of this work to show the descent
of Jonathan Fairbanks from him, no attempt having been made to
trace his lineage.

The following extract from "Virginia Cousins " by the late Prof.
G. Brown Goode, of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C,
gives an interesting account of the situation with reference to the
history of coat armor :

" No record of the original grant of arms appears to be in existence * * * *
Coat armor did not become hereditary until the time of Henry III (121(5-73) and
Edward I (1247-1307).

"In the reign of Richard 1 1. ( 1377-90) and even later, the nobility exercised the
right of conferring arms upon their followers for faithful services in war, and in the
fourteenth century, according to Lower, and even as late as the reign of Henry IV.,
it was the general practice for persons of rank to assume whatever insignia they
chose.

" No attempt was made until the sixteenth century to register or control in
any way the use of arms, the matter in earlier days having been self regulated,
since none but warriors were of sufficient social distinction, or in any way in circum-
stances which would render their use of arms desirable. When civilians began to
assume importance in the community, and the title armiger ceased to indicate
military rank, this title was coveted by many whose ancestors had never borne
arms in battle, and it beeame necessary to found the Heralds' College, which was
charged with the duty of regulating the use of heraldic insignia, and of granting
the privilege of using arms under proper restrictions. One of their earliest steps
was to organize the Heralds' Visitations, by sending out officers of the college to
visit every family-seat in England, to collect evidence in the shape of pedigrees, to
record the arms claimed by each family, and to confirm or disallow questionable
claims, in accordance with the evidence. Visitations were made to all the counties

in the sixteenth and early part of the seventeenth centuries, and the records of these
expeditions, filling thousands of volumes of manuscript, are preserved in the British
Museum, the Heralds' College and elswhere, and in many instances have been
printed."

It may be added here that the name Fairbanks may have come, by evolution,
from an unknown patronymic, and that the history of the arms and the name of
the original knight may lie buried in the archives of the British Museum. The
crest of arrows was used by several families, the nearest name to Fairbanks found
in modern books accessible in our libraries, being Fourbins. Possibly these arms
may be classed, with hundreds of others, as extinct.

INTK.RPRETATION OF THE ARMS OF FAIRBANKS,

According to the significations attributed to Heraldic emblems and colors
by the Heralds of the middle ages :

" Silver, in Heraldry, doth represent white, and so it may be said to be
emblematick of Light. According to Colombier, one of the most esteemed of
Ancient Heralds, Silver doth signify of virtues and spiritual qualities, Humility,
Temperance and Truth ; of worthy good qualities, (ientileness ; of planets, the
Moon; of the elements, Water; of human constitutions, the Flegmatic ; of
precious stones, the Pearl ; of trees, the Palm ; of flowers, the Fleur-de-lis ;
of beasts, the Ermine, whch. is all white without a spot ; of the parts of man,
his Brain ; of the period in man's life, that in which his faculties and his experi-
ence are most ripened and compleate.

" It hath been stated by a learned Spanish authority, that he who beareth a
Silver shield is obliged to render relief unto Maidens and Orphans in distresse.

" A Fess, or band athwart the middle of a shield doth represent a waste-belt,
or military girdle, a bearing whch. has ever been held in high distinction by the
brave Warrior, since it was bestowed by the Sovereign upon his most faithful
knights. The Hurts, or Globes, represent gun-stones, it is said, and were used
by cannoneers before the invention of iron balls. The stone of which they were
fashioned was often of a bluish or grey colour. Still, being blue in their tincture,
some will have it that these Hurts do signify wounds or contusions of the flesh
honourably received in battle, and whch. often turn of that colour. This guess
being without any certainty is therefore not worth insisting upon.

" A Bezant was the current coin of Byzantium, now called Constantinople,
the seat of the Turkish Emperour, and was introduced into Coat Armour by
those who were in the Crusades to the Blessed Holy I,and, being still borne by
their descendants.

"Arrows are of honourable significance in Heraldry, because that they annoy
and gall an unrighteous enemy, and suffer him not to approach to endammage
the Archer. They are also the symbols of keen perceptions, since it requireth a
quick eye and a skilled hand to put them to effective flight against an enemy.

RICHARD FAIRBANKS

Richard Fairbanks (Fairebanke, Fairbanke) came to Boston in
1633, with his wife Elizabeth, probably in the " Griffin," the ship
which brought Rev. John Cotton to the new world. At least, says
Savage (formerly President of the Massachusetts Historical Society,
and Editor of Winthrop's History of New England), his union with
the church there was on the same day with that of Elder Leverett
and wife, Governor Brenton and Edward Hutchinson, in the month
after the great teacher's arrival. He was admitted to the first church
in Boston, "in ye 8'th moneth, 1633," and "in ye 9'th moneth,
Elizabeth Fairebancke."

It is believed that he was a brother of Jonathan, and probably
came to Boston with him. He was made freeman "by ye generall
courte " May 14, 1634, and was a man of some distinction, keeper of
the village Inn.

He was prominently identified with the public affairs of the new
settlement, and from 1635 to 1643 held many town offices. In 1637,
in the "great allotments to the then inhabitants," he was allotted
M three and twenty acres of land." He was a member of the Artillery
Company (Ancient and Honorable). He was probably a man of
independent spirit, with a spice of liberalism in his character, for like
Jonas, of Lancaster, he tried conclusions with the Blue Laws, and
in 1637 was disarmed, with many others, for holding and expressing
"opinions" with regard to the creeds and dogmas of the church,
which were declared by the clergy and the civil authorities to be
"dangerous errors," threatening the safety and peace of the com-
munity, in other words, heresies. He and they were followers of
Rev. John Wheelwright and Mrs. Anne Hutchinson, his half-sister,
leader of the sect of Antinomians, in the memorable religious con-
troversy of the times, which 44 set all Boston by the ears," and
extended to the neighboring towns. Mr. Wheelwright was arraigned
before the General Court, tried and found guilty of contempt and
sedition. Afterwards, at " A Generall Court, held at Newtowne, the

day of the 9th m° a 1637," he was brought up for sentence, and
then " justifying himself and his former practise," he was by the
Court disfranchised and banished. Mrs. Hutchinson was " con-
vented for traduceing the mirs and their mtnistery in this country

and thereupon was banished." See the Records of the Governor and
Company of Massachusetts Bay, 1628-1641, Vol. /, /. 207.

In the same volume, page 211, may be found the sentence
imposed on Richard Fairbanks and others, as follows:

" 1637, 2d Nov. Whereas the opinions and revelations of Mr. Wheelwright
and Mrs. Hutchinson have seduced and led into dangerous errors many of the
people heare in Newe England, insomuch as there is just cause of suspition that
they, as others in Germany, in former times, may, vpon some revelation, make
some suddaine irruption vpon those that differ from them in judgement, for
pvention whereof it is ordered that all those whose names are underwritten shall
(vpon warning given or left at their dwelling houses) before the 30th day of this
month of November, deliver in at Mr. Canes house, at Boston, all such guns,
pistols, swords, powder, shot and match as they shall bee owners of, or have in
their custody, vpon paine of ten pound for evry default to bee made thereof,
svch amies are to bee kept by M. Cane till this Court shall take further order
therein. Also it is ordered, vpon like penalty of Xt, that no man who is to render
his armes by this order shall buy or borrow any guns, swords, pistols, powder,
shot or match, vntill this Court shall take further order therein."

The names underwritten numbered fifty-eight, and Richrd Fair-
banke was among them.

Under like orders men were disarmed in Roxbury, Charlestown,
Salem, Ipswich and Newberry, for " heretics " were numerous. But
be it said, by far the greater part of the members of the Boston
church were in sympathy with them.

Mrs. Ann Hutchinson was the wife of William Hutchinson, of whom an ac-
count says : " She was a woman of piety, ready talents and flow of speech. It
was the custom for the church members to meet together once a week to repeat,
review and debate the Sunday sermons, but by their doctrines the women were
not allowed to take part in the discussions. Mrs. Ann thought that the sex might
hold similar meetings with much usefulness, and she established one at her own
house, and soon gained a numerous auditory, at least from (50 to JSO usually at-
tending, and her house became the intellectual centre of the town. She took the
lead in prayer and in repeating Mr. Cotton's sermons; after which she made
observations and reflections on their tendencies, and gave as her reason for the
practice that Paul enjoined upon the elder women to teach the younger. These
meetings were not objected to until she began to make invidious comparisons
between the ministers of the colony, a few of whom she classed as evangelical
and under the covenant of grace, and all the rest were under the covenant of
works." The career of Mrs. Hutchinson was full of excitement and I should
judge she was a terror; she was what would now be called a strong minded
woman, always restless and feeling a call to do something to make a sensation.

Rev. John Wilson, was among the clergy whom she had assailed. By the
action of this church she was excommunicated, and Mr. Wilson in passing sen-
tence upon her, which he was appointed to deliver, embraced the opportunity to
manifest his feelings toward her and her peculiar tenets. The sentence was as
follows :

RICHARD FAIRBANKS. 25

'* Then Mr. Wilson rose, and in the hush of the crowded assembly solemnly
put the question whether all were of one mind that their sister should be
cast out. There was utter silence; and after the custom of that church this be-
tokened consent. Then the sentence of excommunication was pronounced, and
Ann Hutchinson, no longer a sister, listened to these words rolled out in triumph
from the mouth of John Wilson, the pastor. 'Therefore, in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ, and in the name of the church, I do not only pronounce you
worthy to be cast out, but I do cast you out ; and in the name of Christ I do de-
liver you up to Satan, that you may learn no more to blaspheme, to seduce and
to lie, and I do account you from this time forth to be a heathen and a publican,
and so to be held of all the brethren and sisters of this congregation and others ;
therefore, I command you, in the name of Christ Jesus and of this church, as a
leper, to withdraw yourself out of this congregation.' "

When, in obedience to this mandate, Ann Hutchinson, the outcast, moved
through the awe-stricken throng, her devoted friend, Mary Dyer of Rhode Island
the Quaker martyr who was hanged on Boston Common for witchcraft, June I,
HWO, rose up and walked by her side, and the two walked out together. What a
terrible close of a life-drama was this ! Far away into the wilderness of those
days marched the outcast with her family — never more to be the associate, but
the accused of Christian men and women, and the prey of savages. From
Rhode Island to which she was banished, she removed to the Dutch settlements
near New Haven, where in ltt43 she with all her family and household of sixteen
persons, except one daughter of eight years, were killed by the Indians. The
daughter was carried into captivity, but was afterwards recovered by the General
Court and brought back to Massachusetts.

Richard Fairbanks does not seem to have lost favor with the people
on account of his " perversity," for we find him not long afterward
promoted to a responsible office. He was the first postmaster of
Boston, or for the whole colony. In 1639 the inhabitants petitioned
the council that a postmaster be appointed. The petition was granted
and he was appointed in that year. The order reads :

" For preventing the miscarriage of letters, and it is ordered that notice be
given to Richard Fairbanks, his house in Boston is the place appointed for all
letters which are brought from beyond the seas, or are to be sent thither, are to
be brought unto ; and he is to take care that they be delivered or sent according
to their directions ; and he is allowed for every such letter a penny, and must
answer all miscarriages through his own neglect in this kind, provided that no
man shall be compelled to bring his letters thither except he please."

How long he held the office the records do not say, and nothing
appears in relation to the subject till 1677, when the merchants of
the city petitioned the council for a postmaster, and John Haywood
was appointed.

He evidently enjoyed the confidence of his fellow townsmen in a
high degree, but it seems that a "dangerous heresy "in religious
matters was not the only thing for which he was called to account.

FAIRBANKS (lENKALOGY.

He disregarded an order agreed upon " Att a general! meeting,"
Nov. 30, 1635,—

" That none shall sell their houses or allotments to any new comers but with
the consent and allowance of those that are appointed allotters," and he was fined
for the offense according to the following record : —

" The 6th of the 4th moneth, June, 1630. Att a meeting this day before
Thomas Ollyver, Thomas Leverett, Willyam Hutchinson, Willyam Coulbome,
John Coggeshall, William Aspenall, Richard Tuttell, John Stampford and James
Penne.

"Item. Wee finde that Richard Fairebanke hath sold unto twoe straingers
the towc houses in Sudbury end that were William Balstones, contrary to a former
order, and therefore the sayle to be voyd, and the said Richard Fairebancke to
forfeite for his breaking thereof Xls."

A man in those days had to be one " of our set " in order to be-
come a freeholder, for at the same " generall meeting " above men-
tioned, was this " item " in the proceedings : —

" Imprymis. It is agreed that noe further allotments shall be granted unto
any new comers but such as may be likely to be received as members of the
Congregation."

There was another item which may be interesting to tradesmen,
laborers and labor unions of the present day : —

"Item." (It is agreed) "That Mr. William Hutchinson. Mr. William Col-
borne, and Mr. William Hrenton shall set pryces upon all cattell commodities,
victualls and laborers and Workmen's Wages, and that noe other prises or rates
shall be given or taken."

And another that must have been rather discouraging to lawyers : —

" Item. That none of the members of this congregation or inhabitants
among us shall sue one another at lawe before that Mr. Henry Vane and the twoe
elders, Mr. Thomas Ollyver and Thomas Leverett, have had the hearing and
desyding of the cause if they cann."

The Book of Possessions in 164'j .shows that at that time he owned, "within
the limits of Boston," several tracts of land, as follows:

1. One house and garden bounded with Capt. Keayne on the north and on
the east; Mr. Oliver on the south, and the high streetc (probably High street
which once led from Summer street to the top of Fort Hill), on the west.

2. Five acres in the " Fort Field."

:}. A garden bounded with William Aspinwall on the south and on the east;
Zaccheus Bosworth, John Snyderlaut, Richard Cook, John I.ugg and Arthur
IH;rry on the north, and the Common on the west. This lot was in the neighbor-
hood of Bromtield street, one of the boundaries indicating the origin of the name
of Bosworth street.

4. Also four acres in the " New Fields," bounded by lands of other persons
named and by " the river east." The " New Fields " embraced the locality of the

present Allen, Bulfinch, Lynde, Staniford and Chambers streets and extended to
the - river."

In 1652 he purchased of Robert Turner six acres more adjoining
the Fort Field lot. Several deeds of houses and lands, bought and
sold by him in 1652 and 1654, are recorded in Vols. 1 and 2 of the
Suffolk Registry of Deeds. And Jan. 29, 1654 he signed with others
a marriage contract. Lib 1, Fol. 105.

His place of business and his dwelling house occupied, it is said,
the present site of the Advertiser and the Globe Buildings on Wash-
ington street.

It is probable that he left no descendants in the male line. He
had, so far as appears upon, the records, two children only : —

1. Constance, baptized Jan. 10, 1636; married March 30, 1653,
Samuel Mattock.

2. Zaccheus, baptized Dec. 8, 1639 ; died Nov. 10, 1653.

The exact date of the death of Richard Fairbanks cannot be ascertained.
The statistics of deaths in Boston between 1030 and 1810 are very deficient. The
deaths numbered during that period about 00,000, and only about 4700 of them
are found registered in existing books, and his name does not appear. But he
died before Apr. 15, 1007. See Deed of James l'enn et al to Theodor Atkinson.
Suffolk Deeds, Lib. V, Fol. 1^0 That deed was a conveyance of several lots
of land, among them a lot " neere ffort hill centeyning suen Ackers and seuen
Rods or thereabouts as they (the grantors) heretofore purchast it from the late
Richard r'fairbanks, several years since." The deed was dated Apr. 15. 1007.

If he sold all his real estate before his death his deeds were not all recorded,
and there is no record of any will left by him, nor of any administration on his
estate. Perhaps a considerable share of it was inherited by his daughter Con-
stance Mattock, for the Mattocks were for many years among the wealthy people
of Boston.

METHODS OF RECKONING TIME

The Roman Calendar is said to have been introduced by Romulus about 738
B. C, and modified by Numa Pompilius about 713 B. C. The year was originally
divided into ten periods, or months, known by their numbers in order, beginning
with March and ending with December, which means "tenth" period. At an
early period in Roman history, two new months were added, January and Feb-
ruary ; but occasional intercalations had to be made to correct errors.

In 45 B. C, Julius Carsar, using the calculations of Sisigones, an Alexandrian
mathematician and astronomer, reformed the calendar. He provided that the
year should consist of 305 days (called a common year), except that one day should
be added every fourth year, making what is called a bissextile or leap year of 360
days. He commenced the year also with January 1st, the adjustment producing
one " year of confusion," which consisted of 445 days. This is called the Julian
Calendar.

This division of time, however, was only approximately correct, for it made
the average year too long by 11 minutes, 10-3 seconds, the difference between
305^ days and the solar year, which consists of 365 days, 5 hours and 40.7
seconds. The accumulation of the differences from year to year had, in the
10th century, amounted to 10 days, the Vernal Equinox then falling on the 11th
of March.

In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII again undertook a thorough reform of the calen-
dar. To rectify the existing error, he decreed that the 5th day of October, 1582,
should be reckoned the 15th, thus annulling 10 days; and, to provide for the
future regulation of the calendar, he further ordered that every centurial year
whose number is not divisible by 400, as 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, &c, should con-
tain 305 days, instead of 306 according to the Julian Calendar; in other words,
that an extra day should be dropped three times every four hundred years, and
that the year should begin March 25th. The Julian Calendar so amended, is
called the Gregorian Calendar.

The Gregorian style was at once adopted by all Roman Catholic countries,
but Protestants, inflamed against Romanism, were unwilling to accept even a
purely scientific improvement from the hands of the Pope. Not until 1751 was
the needed reform effected in England by an Act of Parliament. A Bill for that
purpose was introduced in 1585, but was defeated.

METHODS OF RECKONING TIME.

The English Statute of 1751, which took effect in 1752, established January
1st as the beginning of the year, and also cancelled the overplus of time accumu-
lated by the reckoning under the Julian Calendar, which then amounted to 11 days,
by making the 3d day of September, 1752, the 14th.

In England, as early as the 7th and as late as the 13th century, Christmas
was reckoned as the first day of the year, but in the 12th century, the Anglican
Church ordained that the year should begin Annunciation or Lady Day, March
25th, as in the Gregorian Calendar, established two centuries later.

In England, for a considerable period of time prior to the Parliamentary Act,
both the Julian and Gregorian methods were in use, to some extent, among civil-
tans. Hence the Gregorian year was called the Ecclesiastical or Civil year,
while the Julian year was called the Historic year.

In this country the historic year had been adopted more than fifty years
before. Boston Almanacs made the change from March to January in 1087, and
the Boston News Letter in 1717. The change appears in our vital records
about 1790.

To avoid confusion in consequence of the change, the practice of double
dating became customary, that is, of naming the years in both styles, in giving the
dates of events between January 1st and March 25th ; thus, Feb. 20, 1(503-4,
which means Feb. 20, 1693, old style, and Feb. 20, 101)4, new style. In the old
style February was the 12th month, and in the new, the 2nd. This practice con-
tinued till the new style was adopted, in 1752, by the Act of the British Parlia-
ment.

To distinguish common and leap years, under the present style, we have the
following Rule :

Exxiy year whose number is divisible by 4, except those divisible by 100, and
not by 400, consists of j66 days, and all others of j6j days each.

To find the exact period of time between any two dates, one old, and the
other new style, — Add 11 days to the earlier date, and subtract the sum from
the later date.

EXPLANATORY NOTES ON GENEALOGICAL TABLES.

The families are all numbered consecutively by common figures placed at
the head of each, and are referred to by their numbers.

Names of sons who appear as heads of families, or otherwise, in the next
generation, are printed in small capitals, and the numbers following them in
parentheses are their respective family numbers.

Roman numerals are used after the names of ancestors to designate the
generations in which they were born.

After the name and residence of the head of each family, follows his line of
ancestors, beginning with his father and running backward. The number in
parentheses before the name of the father, is his family number in the preceding
generation.

The word "of" before the name of the town or city given as the residence
of the father of a family signifies that he lived there, but is deceased. When
"of" is not so inserted, the person is either living in the place named, or no
information to the contrary is at hand.

Since the ancient name of Fairbanke or Fairbank was, in early times,
changed to Fairbanks in most lines of three branches of the original family, that
style is herein assumed as the general standard from the beginning in these
branches. In the exceptional cases the practice of individuals has been followed.

In the other branch, comprising the descendants of Jonas, Fairbank is taken
as the early standard, the changes to Fairbanks appearing from time to time as
they have been made.

some Sheep commons, with all that do or shall belong of right to them in any

Sagamore, all which I value at Forty pounds. More I give and bequeath to my
eldest son John Fairbanks ten pounds which is to be understood because he is

in Dedham ten pounds in currant Country payment pr yeare beging the next
yeare after my decease and so to continue forth on in yc insuing yeares to pay
untill he s<* John Fairbanks shall have received both his ten pounds above

and alike my mind is that if my Sons Joseph & Benjamin ffairbanke can pay
their Brother John ffairbanke more than ten pounds pr yeare they shall do well,

more.

to be paid by Joseph and Benjamin Fairbanks.

Item. 1 give and bequeath to my grand daughter Mary Sawyer the Sum of
ffifteen pounds to be paid by my Sons Joseph and Benjamin Fairbanks in currant
Country payment, and my mind is that She my s«> Grand child shall receive the
first ffive pounds when she shall attain to the age of one & twenty yeares, and
so forth on in the next ensuing years five pounds pr yeare untill she have
received her ffifteen pounds. And if She my s*l Grand Child shall dye before

by the Indians Feb. 10, 1076, during a raid upon the settlement.

He married, May 28, 1658, Lydia Prescott, daughter of John
Prescott, who came from Sowerby, Parish of Halifax, England. She
was born in Watertown, Mass., Aug. 15, 1641. After his death she

' 7. Jonas, born 6: 3: 1673. He was of Watertown in 1695-6,

Lancaster, formerly of his father, Jonas. He died, prob-
ably, Sept. 13, 1697, and was buried in his brother
Jonathan's lot in Lancaster. See note under Jonathan (12).

•There is a discrepancy between this date and the inscription on his tomb-
stone, which is " Lieut. Jabez Fairbank, died March. 1758, aged about S4."

5. JONATHAN FAIRBANKS, of Dedham, Mass.

(1), fourth ;md youngest son of Jonathan I.

Born in England; admitted townsman in Dedham "ye 1 of ye 11 :
1654," and signed the covenant. Resided in Dedham. He died
Jan. 28, 1711-12.

He was a soldier in King Philip's War, serving in the first or Mt.
Hope campaign in 1675, also in several subsequent campaigns. His
name appears in the list of 11 Assignment of Wages " to the town of
Roxbury, Aug. 26, which leads to the supposition that at that time
he resided there, for it was the custom of the times for soldiers to
assign their wages to the towns in which they resided in order that
their families could be provided for. (See "Soldiers in King Philip's
War " by George AT. Bodge.)

Married Deborah, daughter of Edward Shepard, of Cambridge,
who came from England with her father May 10, 1643. She died
Sept. 7, 1705 (?).*

♦There is a record (Dedham Book, p. 13), " Rachcll daughter of Jonathan
and Rachell Fairebanck borne 14 of ye 5 mo., 1073." It does not appear that this

FAIRBANKS GENEALOGY.

Jonathan had any other wife than Deborah, nor was there any other Jonathan
than his son who could have married Rachell ; but it is supposed that he died
a bachelor, so there may be some error.

CHILDREN:

1. Jonathan born ; died in 1677 ; lived in Boston,

Mass.

See administration of his estate committed to his father, Oct. 24, 1077,
Suffolk Probate Records, Vol. 12,/oL 22.

2. Deborah, born the 3 of the 4 mo., 1654.

3. Grace, born the 16 of the 8 mo., 1656; died 28: 10: 1673,

or 19: 3., 1676.

4. Sarah, born 22 : 10 : 1658 ; married David Thurston.

5. Edward, born 10: 11: 1660.

6. David, born 28: 11: 1662.

7. Samuel (14), born June 2, 1665.

8. Mary, born July 24, 1667 ; married Samuel Whiting.

9. Abigail, born ; died Jan. 18, 1711-12.

10. Elizabeth, born .

11. Rachel, " borne 14 of ye 5 mo., 1673."

12. Jeremiah (15), born 31 of the 11 mo., 1674.

13. Jonathan (16), born probably about 1677.

No records of the births of Abigail, Elizabeth, or the second Jonathan
have been found, and the order of their births, as above given, may not be
correct. Their father's will was dated Dec. 8, 1708, and was probated Feb. 14,
1711-12. His children mentioned in it were Edward, his "eldest son," Jeremiah,
Samuel, Jonathan, Deborah, Abigail, Elizabeth, Rachel and Mary. His son-
in-law," Samuel Whiting, and his grandson, David Thurston, were also men-
tioned. Administration was committed to his son Jonathan and his son-in-law,
Samuel Whiting. See Suffolk Probate Records, Vol. 77, fol. jSg.

Jonathan being, as assumed here, most likely the youngest son, and named
after one who had died, and through whom his father no doubt desired to per-
petuate the name, received a large share of the lalter's estate, viz., "my house
and barn, and my land near home and thirteen acres of land lying at the six-mile
tree joining to twenty acres of land which I formerly gave him, and a right to
take up three or four acres which remain to be laid out of the same. Dividends
in full of all due to him from my estate."

till after 1677, when he removed to Wrentham. Died Sept. 14, 1706.
Will dated Aug. 29, 1706; probated Oct. 1, 1706. The will mentions
his wife Hannah, sons John, Joshua and Nathaniel, and daughters
Hannah, Mary, Sarah and Deborah. See Suffolk Wills, Vol. l6t
Fol. 188.

He received by the will of his father, a copy of which appears on
page 35, all of his real estate, or rights, within the town of Wrentham,

born "the 17th of the 12 mo., 1651," and died June 14, 1740, aged
88 yrs., 5 mos., 27 ds.

Note. It is erroneously stated in the Dedham Records, Vol. 1, p. 12, that
he married Mary Whiting. Mary was Hannah's sister, bom 12 : 8 mo. 1658. See
Hannah Whiting's will, Suffolk Probate Records, Lib. 18, Fol. S96.

CHILDREN, born in Dedham:

1. Hannah, born 24: 10 mo., 1672; married Stephen Ranger,

Dec. 23, 1713. She died without issue in 1756. Her will

Note. According to the Wrentham Records, Hannah died Sept 19, 1090,
but, as her father mentioned a daughter Hannah in his will, the record is either
erroneous or another Hannah was bom ; or possibly it was Abigail, instead of
Hannah, who died in 1690. for she was not mentioned in the will.

7. Dea. JOSEPH FAIRBANKS, of Dedham, Mass.

The Dorchester Canada or township Crant, which was afterward named
Ashburnham, was a tract of land six miles square, divided under the original
charter into sixty-three shares, sixty of which were distributed among the heirs of
soldiers who served in the Canada Expedition, except in the single instance of
one of the soldiers, Philip Codding, who was living to receive in person that late
reward for service to the colony. Oliver Wilder, of Lancaster, received one share
"in the right of Jonathan Fairbank who sarved under Capt. Champney."

Note. Historians have been puzzled over a tombstone standing in the old
cemetery in Lancaster, in the lot where Jonathan (12) was buried, bearing the
inscription : " Jonas Fairbanks who deceased Sept. 13, 10l>7." They have assumed
that he was a young son of Jonathan, and have stated as a fact that two of the
children of Jonathan, meaning Grace and Jonas, were killed in the massacre of
Sept. 11, 1007. But there is no record that Jonathan had a son Jonas, and there
are good reasons for the belief that Jonas buried in this lot was the brother,
instead of the son, of Jonathan, aged about 24 years. See Jon \s (4).

13. Capt. JABEZ FAIRBANK, of Lancaster, Mass.

(4), Jonas 11, Jonathan I.

Born in Lancaster, 8: 11: 1670 (?), and lived there; "died
March 2, 17o8, aged about 84," according to the inscription on his
tombstone, which would make his birth later than 1070.

He was a very efficient soldier and officer in the Indian wars, and
was no doubt incited to heroic exploits by the massacre of his father
and brother, in 1070, and of his only surviving brother in 1097.
During the raid upon the town in 1097, when his brother Jonathan
and one of the latter's children were slain, he was the means of sav-

ing a garrison and perhaps many lives, including that of his "little
son," probably Joseph. In all, outside the garrison, twenty-one per-
sons were killed, two wounded, and six were carried away as cap-
tives, of whom five returned. Among the captives returned was the
wife of Jonathan.

Aboflt 1720, the Indians at the East again began to manifest open hostilities
to the whites, which soon assumed the proportions of war. There had been
occasional fights previous to 1722, instigated by the French Jesuits, and in August
1723 the General Court met and approved of the proclamation of war which had
been issued by Gov. Samuel Shute, July 25. 1722. By the death of Gov.
Shute the conduct of the war fell to the lot of Lieut-Gov. William Dummer,
acting governor of the colony; hence it is sometimes known as Dummer's War.
Expeditions were sent in successive years, with great loss of men and money,
until the natives were subdued. The people of Lancaster bore their part of the
public burden, and probably volunteered more than their proportion of fighting
men. Prominent among these were the Willards, White, Fairbank and Hart-
well. See Marvin's J fi story of Lancaster.

" First in the order of time of our military heroes, in these days of trial, "says
Marvin, " was Lieut, afterwards Capt. Jaber Fairbank. He was a famous
scouting officer, and traversed large sections of the country to the north, east
and west, in search of prowling Indians. More than sixty parties were engaged
in this service. Some of names of the men under his command, between 1721
and 1724, were the following: Edward Hartwell, Ephraim Wheeler, Daniel
Osgood, Isaac Farnsworth, Isaac Lacain, John Bennett, Joseph Wheelock, Ezra
Sawyer, Moses Willard, John Earns."

Gov. Dummer immediately sought the services of Fairbank to enlist men.
He offered him the choice of the office of sergeant, if he remained at home in
Lancaster, or that of Lieutenant, if he were willing to serve at Groton or at Turkey
Hill. He chose the latter, and at once entered the service. He reported directly
to the Governor during the war, and the published correspondence between them
furnishes many interesting chapters of history. See Mass. Archives and Marvin's
History of Lancaster ; also History of Groton.

In the year 1700 he had lands laid out to him " on both sides of
danes Brook aboue Thomas Sawyer's Sawmill." This site became
the home of the Fairbanks, and so remained for a hundred years or
more."

He was elected as a representative to the General Court in 1714,
1721, 1722 and 1723.

He married I, Mary, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Houghton)
Wilder, who died Feb. 21, 1718, "in 43 year of her age."

He married II, Elizabeth Whitcomb, Mar. 25, 1719; she died
May 11, 1755, aged 80 yrs., 7 mos.

14. SAMUEL FAIRBANKS, of New London, Conn.

(5) Jonathan II, Jonathan I.

It has been very difficult to trace the career of this man, but cir-
cumstances and facts indicate that his lineage was as above given.
He was born in Dedham, Mass. June 2, 1665. The first historical
account of his presence in Connecticut is found in the Colonial
Records 1689-1706., in the proceedings of a Court of Elections held
at Hartford, May 8, 1690.

The first settlers of Connecticut went from Massachusetts Bay
and Plymouth Colonies, and located at Windsor, Hartford, Wethers-
field, Saybrook, New London and other places. The next we hear
of Samuel, he was before a meeting of the Governor and Council in
New London, May 5, 1714, as a witness in an Indian case. Col. Rcc.
of Ct. jjo6-ij 16. But he must have gone to New London several
years prior to that time, for from the " History of New London,"
(p431), we find that on the 22d of Feb. 1720-1, the Commission-
ers ratified a lease made by him in 1710, as follows : «* Fairbanks had
a lease from Owaneco in 1710, of one hundred and fifty acres, on
condition of making and maintaining 200 rods of fence. The feoffers
added a new tenure, — a yearly fat lamb if demanded." A copy of
this lease is on Record in the city of New London, Conn. These
lands must have been near the Mohegan Reservation, in the present
town of Montville, half way between New London and Norwich.

of William and Christian Chapell, who were amongst the earliest set-
tlers in Conn. She was born "nigh the end of Feb. 1680-1." No
record has been found of their marriage, but after a long search, there
was found recorded in the Church Records of the " North Parish " of
New London, (now Montville), this item (which the New London Co.
historian had overlooked), in the hand of the pastor, as baptized into
the Church in April 1723, "Christian Banks, wife of Sam'l Fairbanck."

Parish church Montville, Ct., Mr. Jonathan Church of

deeded by Owaneco. He must have been a superior
man, and she a woman of great moral worth, for several

prudence. Ex-Justice of the Supreme Court of New
York, Hon. Sanford Church, is a descendant. No Clear
record can be found of their children. They had several

in the 79th year of his age. The section of Lancaster in which he
lived was made a part of Harvard in 1732.

At a meeting of the first church of Lancaster, held Sept. 9, 1733,
4* the brethren present by vote Discovered yr willingness that Joseph
Fairbank, Henry Willard, Peter Atherton, and Elijah Whitney, all
of Harvard, should joyn with others in said Town in forming of
Church there." He was a selectman in Harvard in 1733, '5, 1743, '5,
and 1745-52, and was Town Treasurer, 1736-40.

He was in 1740 the choice of his townsmen for their first repre-
sentative to the Great and General Court, but modestly declined to
serve, and Peter Atherton was chosen.

He was prominently identified with the stirring events that pre-
ceded the Revolutionary War, as a leading man in all the public
meetings. He served on most of the town committees that were
appointed to protest against and resist the encroachments of the
British Parliament upon the rights and liberties of the colonies.

He was one of the Committee to whom was referred the consider-
ation of the Form of Government sent from the General Court to the
several towns and plantations in the state for their approbation.

He was a deacon of the church and one of its strongest supporters. In 1750,
after some additions had been made to the seating capacity of the meeting house,
it became necessary to reseat the people, and a committee was appointed for this
purpose, with instructions to " seat the two foremost seats below, Respecting men
for Age as well as l'ay, and all other seats and persons to be seated on Dignity
according to what they payed to the minister, real and personal estate the three
last years passed." The report of the committee named ten persons to occupy the
" fore seat below." Dea. Joseph Fairbank was the ninth in order. In March
1706 the people were again reseated by a committee under similar instructions.
Thirteen persons were seated in the " Fore Seat Below," Dea. Joseph Fairbank
being the first in order. Capt. Joseph Fairbank, Jr., his son, was assigned to the
third seat below.

The first Fairbank homestead in Harvard is that now owned and occupied by
Andrew Fairbank and his son. The house is very old, though most signs of its
age are concealed under modern improvements. It was built, probably about
1720, by Dea. Joseph Fairbank.

He married, Apr. 21, 1718, Mary Brown, who died Nov. 14, 1791,
aged 91 yrs., 11 mos., 6 ds.

Mem.- There is scarcely a doubt that " Philemon Fairbank," of Athol.was
Philemon Priest, or Philemon Fairbank Priest, as above. He enlisted in the
Revolutionary Army as Philemon Fairbank, and afterward retained that name.
He served in the same company and regiment as his cousins John and Nahum
of Athol. Their names all appear on the Coat Rolls, which see. He married
Sally Smith in Bolton, Mass., June 19, 1779; lived in Athol, and removed to
Fitzwilliam, N. H., where some of his descendants now live.

This view is confirmed by Miss Myra White of Haverhill, who is at work on
the White Genealogy. Polly (White) Brooks married Joseph Fairbank (384) of
Templeton. John Fairbank, Sr., of Athol, married Tabitha White for his second

FIFTH GENERATION.
39. NATHAN FAIRBANKS, of Swanzey, New Hampshire.

(17), John IV, John III, John II, Jonathan I.

Born in Wrentham, Mass., August 6, 1704. He settled in that
part of the Province of New Hampshire which is now Cheshire County.
But it is not definitely known when he left Mass. In deeds of land
made by him he was described in 1730, as of Wrentham, and in 1750
as of a place called Upper Ashuelot (now Keene), in the Province of
New Hampshire. See Suffolk, Mass. Deeds, vol. 46, page 183, and
vol. 78, page 139. In 1735 he sold land at Upper Ashuelot to Nathan
Blake of Wrentham, and he was then of the same Wrentham.

He was a soldier in the Colonial Wars, serving first, while a resi-
dent of Wrentham, in Capt. Samuel Wright's company from June 10,
to Oct. 29, 1725. After bis removal to Ashuelot he, being on the
frontier, served in the companies of Capt. Josiah Willard, Jr., in
1748-50, and in Capt Elisha Williams' company in the Crown Point
expedition of 1755. In one instance his name is spelled " Nathl." in
the war rolls. See Colonial War Rolls.

In 1752, he was living in Upper Ashuelot, and four years later in
Hinsdale, N. H. He bought land in Swanzey, of Abner Osgood, in
1763, and was then described as of Winchester. He sold this land in
1766.

He died Jan. 14, 1777, in Swanzey, and Samuel Wires of Walpole,
N. H., was appointed to administer upon his estate, Dec. 31, 1777.
Mr. Wires' wife was a sister of John Burt, who married Susan Fair-
banks, daughter of Nathan. After the death of Samuel Wires,
Nathan Fairbanks, Jr., was appointed guardian of his five small
children. Petition filed in Cheshire, N. H. Probate Court, Jan. 19,
1802.

From the records of deeds made in 1766, we learn that his wife's
name was Mary, but no record has been found of their marriage.

In the records of the First Church in Westmoreland is the follow-
ing record, which probably refers to her: " Mrs. Fairbanks died Aug.
31, 1807." It seems probable that she was living with her son Nathan,
as there is no record of any other Mrs. Fairbanks being in Westmore-
land at that time.

CHILDREN :
1. Nathan (97), born about 1760.

44. JOSEPH FAIRBANKS, of Winthrop, Me.

(20), Joseph IV, Joseph III, John II, Jonathan I.

Bom in Dedham, Mass., May 21, 1717 ; lived there in the famous
old house, and in Wrentham. March 9, 1770, he and his wife sold
their estate in Wrentham to Elisha Farrington (Suffolk Deedsy Lib,
u6,/ol. i6g\ and at a later period removed to Winthrop, where some
of their sons had already preceded them.

The first mention we find of him as a resident of Maine, appears
in the records of the March meeting of Winthrop in 1775, when the
town voted to remit the tax on his son's poll.

He settled on lot No. 82, now known as the Haskell farm, but
then an unbroken wilderness, and with his accustomed energy, and
the aid of his sons, undertook to subdue its fertile acres and fit them
for cultivation. Upon this farm he remained until the last years of
his life, which were spent at the home of his son Joseph, about a mile
distant. His widow survived him twelve years, dying at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Rial Stanley.

The following entry on the Winthrop Records shows the dates of
their deaths :

" Mr. Joseph Fairbanks, of Winthrop, son of Mr. Joseph Fairbanks
and Abigail, his wife, of Dedham, died at Winthrop on the 27th day

FIFTH GENERATION. 83

of November, A. D. 1794." "The widow Frances Fairbanks, wife
of the late Joseph Fairbanks of Winthrop, who died in Winthop
Nov. 10, A. D. 1806, in the ninety-second year of her age."

No sketch of the life of Joseph Fairbanks, however brief, should
fail to speak of the remarkable mechanical gift of his descendants.
They seem to have been born mechanics, needing only the training
of the muscles, in the handling of tools, to become skilled. In the
early days iron was scarce, while wood was plenty, and they naturally
took to the working of wood. If their neighbors or townsmen wanted
a water pail or an ox yoke, cart wheels or a cider mill, a water wheel
or a dwelling house, anything to be made of wood, a Fairbanks
could always be found to do the work, and to do it in a neat and
substantial manner. Their services were always in demand and of
great value to the early settlers.

He was married to Frances, daughter of Joseph and Experience
(Bennet) Estey of Stoughton, Mass., April, 1744, by Rev. Samuel
Dunbar.

The following appears upon the records of Canton : u Intention of
marriage between Joseph Fairbanks of Dedham and Frances Estie of
Stoughton ent March ye 24, 1743-4."

The births of the following children are recorded in Dedham :

1. Experience (Temperance), born Feb. 21, 1744-6 ; died April

29, 1769.

2. Benjamin (102), born Nov. 20, 1746.

3. Sarah, born Sept. 4, 1749 ; married Capt. William Pullen, son

of James and Lydia (Woodcock) Pullen, who was born in
Attleborough, Mass., Aug. 5, 1753, and died in Waterville,

(27), Joseph IV, Jabez III, Jonas II, Jonathan I.

Born in Lancaster, Mass., April 8, 1719; resided in Harvard,
where he died Aug. 22, 1800, aged 81 yrs., 4 mos., 14 ds.

He lived upon a farm adjoining his father's on the north, his
house being the first built upon the cul de sac road.

In 1757 he served with the rank of Ensign in a Foot Company
commanded by Israel Taylor of Harvard, out of Col. Oliver Wilder' s
Regt. that marched on the alarm for the relief of Fort William Henry,
as far as Springfield. (Service Aug. 18 to Aug. 26, 1757.) See
Colonial War Records^ Appendix.

He afterward became captain in the militia service, and held
nearly all the offices in the gift of his fellow-townsmen. He was
elected as a representative to the Legislature in 1776 and 1777, and
he was chairman of the Town Committee to whom was referred the
consideration of the Constitution and form of Government sent from
the General Court of this state to the several towns and plantations
within the same for their approbation. He was selectman in 1757,
'61, '62, '65, '73-76 and '79 ; Town Clerk 1766-1779, Town Treasurer
in 1778, and for several years one of the Board of Assessors. In
1778 he was chosen one of the Committee of Correspondence and
Safety.

He was chosen Deacon in the church, May 8, 1706, and was thereafter often
called " Deacon " in the public records, though the title of Captain was also fre-
quently given.

" Rare qualities were required for the making of a standard deacon, though
an air of calm benignity, which nothing could ruffle, was sometimes allowed to
atone for mental disqualifications. It was a common adage that there was 'good
deacon timber ' always to be found in the Fairbank and Whitney families, and
there never has been any lack of these in Harvard." History of Harvard.

his baptism was made Aug. 24, 1778, by a mistake in copying the records.

(44), Joseph V, Joseph IV, Joseph III, John II, Jonathan I.

Born in Dedham, Mass., Nov. 20, 1740. Died in Winthrop, Me.,
May 28, 1828.

When twenty years of age, in company with other young men, he
visited that part of the Plymouth Grant now included in the town of
Winthrop, with a view to settlement. A line of spotted trees was
their only guide from Kennebec River through the dense forest.
They found a region well adapted for agricultural purposes, and the
attractiveness of the country, with its beautiful lakes, its well wooded
slopes, and its productive soil, led them to seek a settlement at once.
Mr. Fairbanks, or " Capt. Ben," as he was familiarly called, received
lot No. 6, in the southeastern part of the town, which was granted to
him, April 6, 1769. Here on a fertile spot, overlooking Cobbosseconte
Lake, he built a house, in 1777, which is still standing and in good
preservation.

His farming prospered, and in 1800 he was paying a tax on two
hundred acres of land, including the largest orchard in town, and had
money at interest. Besides being a good farmer, he was a man of
much mechanical skill.

In 1778 he was one of the Committee of Correspondence, Inspec-
tion, and Safety, and, in 1782-83-84, selectman. He was treasurer
for four years, and also rendered other public service to the town.
Upright in character, benevolent and helpful to all in need or in
trouble, he lived a long and useful life.

In a quiet country graveyard, upon land once a part of his farm,

is erected a simple stone tablet, upon which are inscribed these words :

" In memory of Mr. Benjamin Fairbanks who died May 28, 18*28, aged 81 yrs.
and 6 mos. He came into the town, now Winthrop, in May 1706, and was the
fourth settler, and resided on the same farm he first took up until his death, being
♦J2 years. As a man he was a kind husband, tender parent, and uncommonly
benevolent to the poor."

103. JOSEPH FAIRBANKS, of Winthrop, Me.

(44), Joseph V, Joseph IV, Joseph III, John II, Jonathan I.

Born in Dedham, Mass., Aug. 4, 1751.

He went, like the other members of his family, to the District of
Maine, but the date of his removal is uncertain. Before 1779, how-
ever, he was living with his father, on lot No. 82, in the western part
of the town of Winthrop, and, under date of August 22, 1780, he pur-
chased of Jeremiah Hall one half of lot No. 83, with dwelling house
thereon. Lincoln Co, Deeds, Lib. /jy fol. 45. From the description
of a road laid out in the spring of 1783, near his farm, it is evident
that he had then settled on what is now known as the Moore farm, a
mile or more distant, where his life was spent.

By the exercise of marked industry and thrift, he became a suc-
cessful husbandman, with a farm under good cultivation and well-
stocked ; but during the early days his family suffered many of the
privations and hardships incident to pioneer life.

In 1782 Mr. Fairbanks was chosen surveyor of the highway ; in
1790, school committee, and in 1791, tything man. He was the first
warden of the town and a deacon of the Baptist church in Wayne, —
a man of stern faith and a strict disciplinarian. In his youth he was
apprenticed to a hard taskmaster, and the treatment and influences he
was then subjected to, affected his whole life.

He married, Oct. 10, 1776, Sibbil (Sybil), daughter of Phineas and
Joanna (Lane) Grover, of Norton, Mass. She was born Sept. 30,
1756, and died May 11, 1807. He died July 4, 1807.

FAIRBANKS GENEALOGY.

104. Col. NATHANIEL FAIRBANKS, of Winthrop, Me.

(44), Joseph V, Joseph IV, Joseph I II, John II, Jonathan I.

Born in Dedham, Mass., July 15, 1754.

He was closely indentified with the town of Winthrop from its
beginning. A zealous and far-seeing guardian of its interests, his
influence was felt in promoting its growth and in shaping its future.

In a letter of historical value, written in 1830, he says his first
visit was made to Pondtown in 17G7, 44 When there was no road, only
a spotted line between the settlement and Kennebec river." In
another visit, the following year, he notes the advance made, and adds :
44 In the spring of 17G9, I went to the Westward, and did not return
until November 1774. I then found the place incorporated by the
name of Winthrop, with a large population."

He settled in what has been since known as the " Metcalf
neighborhood," then and for many years after, the political, religious,
and business center of the town. In 1778 he built a dwelling: house
which is now standing, in good preservation, and here entertained
Talleyrand, the French diplomatist, and the Duke of Orleans, —
afterwards Louis. Phillippe, — as they journeyed through the country
in 1794. The same year he put in operation a tannery, the first, it
is claimed, in what is now Kennebec County, which he conducted
with profit until his removal to the village, in 1800.

Upon the news of the fight at Lexington, 44 Nathaniel Fairbanks
and eighteen other young men repaired to the headquarters of the
Provincial Army at Cambridge, to defend their beloved country."
He enlisted in Capt. Samuel McCobb's company. Col. John Nixon's
regiment, (See War Rolls), and was afterwards a member of Benedict
Arnold's famous expedition up the Kennebec to Quebec.

Upon the return of Col. Enos' command to which he belonged,
young Fairbanks took part in the siege of Boston, and at the request
of his officers, served six weeks after his term had expired. His
name appears on the Coat Rolls, which see. He received a Captain's
commission from Gov. Hancock in 1788, and was the first man in
Winthrop to be commissioned Colonel of a regiment. He held many
positions of trust and responsibility, and received almost every office
within the gift of the town. He was for nine years a Representative
to the General Court, and was a delegate to the Portland convention
in 1794.

Engaging in manner, commanding in mien, he could entertain in
private conversation, or preside over a public meeting, with ease and
grace. History was his favorite reading, but he ever took an interest

in politics and the events of the day. His grandchildren were
aware of his talent for story telling, and delighted to listen to the
thrilling tales of his early hunting exploits, for in the pioneer days he
was a hunter of no small repute.

In 1814 Col. Fairbanks removed to Wayne, where he was also
active in public affairs. His sound judgment, his executive ability,
and withal his charming yet dignified personality, served to make
him one of the most important characters of his time and place. See
History of Winthrop.

He married I, Oct. 21, 1778, Susanna, daughter of Dr. Joseph
and Hannah (Haven) Metcalf, of Wrentham, Mass. She was born
May 27, 1759, and died in Franklin, Mass., Sept. 24, 1791. He
married II, Jan. 1, 1793, Lydia, daughter of Jacob and Anna (Water-
man) Chipman, and a lineal descendant of the Pilgrim John Howland.
She was born in Halifax, Mass., Jan. 11, 1767, and died in Wayne,

FAIRBANKS GENEALOGY

129. ASA FAIRBANKS, of Dublin, N. H.

(55), Ebenezcr V, Elcusur IV, Eliesur III, George II, Jonathan I.

Born in Sherborn, Mass. (now Medway), Mar. 4, 1762 ; removed
to Dublin in 1784, and settled on Lot 3, Range 2, which was pur-
chased by his father. He died there July 20, 1819, aged 57 yrs.
4 mos. 2*2 ds. He enlisted in the service of his country at the age of
fourteen, and performed guard duty around military stores in Sher-
born during one summer season. At the age of sixteen he enlisted
again, and joined the army in Rhode Island. He was there employed,
a portion of the time, as a ferryman between Tiverton and Greenwich,
transporting soldiers, horses, provisions, ammunition, etc. On one
occasion he was ordered to take a load of soldiers across the river by
night, in company with six other boats. During the passage a severe
tempest arose. It was stormy and dark. They lost their pilot and
lights, and in this condition they were tossed about by the waves, not
knowing where they were or whither they were going. In the course
of the night they were drifted upon an island where they found
another boat load in the same condition. Only one boat of the seven
found its way that night across the river. When morning came, they
discovered they were near the enemy. As boats crossed and recrossed
the river they made signals of distress, but were not relieved till they
had passed two days and two nights without food, or the means of
making a fire to dry themselves. They were supposed by their
officers to be lost.

In the year 1780 he re-enlisted for six months, and served a part
of the time at West Point. He was there when Arnold attempted to
give it into the hands of the British. 5<<r War Kolls.

He married, Apr. 28, 1784, Hepzibah Adams, daughter of Capt.
Moses Adams. She was born in Sherborn, Dec. 8, 1701. Soon after
their marriage they settled in Dublin, and lived at first in a log cabin,
without chimney or doors. They cooked their food for two or three
months by the side of a log in the open air.

had made an honorable record. When he was twenty years old, his
uncle Joseph, who had received a lot of land in Halifax, N. S.t in
recognition of his services under the Government of Massachusetts,
in reducing the Island of Cape Breton, sent for him to go and live
with him. The vessel in which he took passage from Boston, was
forced to go back for repairs, and the winter coming on he went
home. The next spring his father moved to Brimfield, and he gave
up the opportunity at Halifax to his cousin Rufus. After assisting
his father in the new home, he also bought a farm in Brimfield. He
was not only a farmer, but, like most of the family, naturally a
mechanic, and buying a set of carpenter's tools, found profitable
employment in building. Having Mr. and Mrs. Paddock, his wife's
parents, in the family, through many years of expensive illness, he
had slow work in paying for his farm, but it was well stocked, so that,
when in 1815 he decided to move to Vermont, where his brother-in-
law, Judge Paddock, and his son Erastus were already established,
the farm sold for $1,800, and with the avails of his furniture and
stock he had enough to purchase a small water-power, and timber
with which he and his son built a dam, a saw mill, a grist mill, and
wagon shop. The family endured the hardships of pioneer life,
together with the special discomfort of snow storms and frosts every
month of the first year. The growing prosperity of the following
years was due to his ability as well as to that of his sons. He
was a manly man, of the best New England type, much respected,
and of great influence. He died suddenly, Sept. 27, 1846. His wife,
to whom not less than to himself the sons owed their strength of
character, died at the advanced age of ninety-three.

He married, Oct. 21, 1790, Phebe, daughter of James and Ann
Paddock, of Holland, Mass., whose ancestor came to this country
with Gov. Carver. She was born Sept. 6, 1760, and died May 5, 1853.
The Paddock family gave many honored citizens to Vermont.

137, DANIEL FAIRBANK, of Fillmore, 111.

(57),Jabcz V, George IV, Jonathan III, George II, Jonathan I.

Born in Framingham, Mass., March 21, 1765. Lived with his
parents on the Brinley farm in Framingham until his marriage, when
he removed to Townsend, Mass., afterwards removing to Rindge,
N. H., Putney, Vt. and later to Gilsum, N. H. He lived on the
Randall place in Gilsum, in the edge of Keene. His family record
appears, with some errors, in the History of Gilsum, N. H.

In the summer of 1838 he, with all his family, and grandchildren
consisting of five families of twenty persons, emigrated to Fillmore,
111. The journey proved too much for the aged mother and the
youngest daughter, Emily, they both dying soon after their arrival in
their new home. The father survived them but one year, and died
after 75 years of a life of privation and toil. Both parents were
members of the Methodist church, the father being an exhorter and
an authority in the councils of the church. All of the sons became
preachers in the church of that denomination.

Married Zerviah (Brown) Fairbank, widow of Luke Fairbank (315)
July 3, 1809. She died in Fillmore, July, 1838. He died August

4. Daniel, born Dec. 2, 1816. The following is from an obituary

notice found in the General Minuies of Methodist General
Conference for 1855. He was at the time of his death a
member of the Illinois Conference.

"Rev. Daniel Fairbank was born in Townsend, Mass., Dec. 2, 1810. He
was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1830, under the
ministry of Rev. N. B. Spalding. He emigrated to the State of Illinois in 1838,
was licensed to exhort in 1848. and was employed by Rev. C. Holliday to travel
the Carlinville Circuit the last quarter of that year. At the ensuing session of the
Illinois Conference he was admitted on trial, and appointed to Upper Alton ; after
which he traveled Carlyle, Staunton, Jonesboro'. Metropolis, Fairfield. Shawnee-
town. Edwardsville, Lebanon, Sparta, Golconda, Chili, and Hardin Circuits. In
the Fall of 1853 his health was so far impaired that he found it necessary to ask
for a superannuated relation. For a few months his friends were encouraged to
hope that rest would improve his wasted strength, and that he would again be able
to do effective service in the regular work of the ministry ; but these hopes were
soon blighted. His disease returned again with renewed force about the 1st of
October. 1854, and continued until the 9th, when it terminated his earthly ex-
istence.

** Brother Fairbank was a good and faithful minister of the Lord Jesus. He
died in ' great peace,' and in full hope of a glorious immortality."

He died, unmarried, Oct. 9, 1854, at the house of his sister, Mrs.
Robertson, Hillsborough, 111.

Morrisville, N. Y.

Samuel V, Samuel IV, Jonathan III, George II, Jonathan I.

Born in Dudley, Mass.; baptized Oct. 25, 1747.

He was married in Dudley, and lived there afterwards for several years. He
removed to Chesterfield, N. II.. Apr. 8, 1777. Ebenezer Cooper, of Chesterfield,
conveyed to him a tract of land in Chesterfield, part of Lot 5, in the 9th Range,
consideration £'200. In the deed he was described as of Dudley, Mass. Accord-
ing to other deeds made to and by him he was of Chesterfield, in 1778, 1779, and
1782; of Alstead in 178:3; of Walpole in 1790. In 1782 he was one of the board
of selectmen in Chesterfield. He owned from time to time large tracts of land.
He was a revolutionary soldier; a minute man on the Lexington Alarm. See
War Rolls. He afterward enlisted in New I lampshire, and served as a private
in Francis Towne's Company in Col. David Gilman's Regt., which regiment was

Army in the State of New York, at Fort (Jeorge and Ticonderoga, from Decem-
ber 1770 to March 1777. Official Report.

After, or during the war, he was called Captain, but how he gained the title
has not been ascertained, — perhaps in the militia service. His descendants speak
of him as Capt. Jonas " of revolutionary fame."

He settled in Walpole, in 1783 or 1784, and there all the children
of his second marriage were born. He was engaged in the lumber
business, and in buying and selling real estate, and was successful,
but later lost a large share of his property by becoming surety for
other persons.

He took an active interest in public affairs ; was a selectman in
1790 and 1801 ; served as Moderator in 1791-2-3-4-5 and 0.

In 1808 or 1809 his son Ebenezer, and his sons-in-law Mr. Lee,
Samuel Scott, and Joshua Dean emigrated to Eaton, Madison county,
N. Y. One or two years later he followed them with the rest of his
family, and settled in the same township. He died in Morrisville,

and until he could raise corn and rye (there was no wheat), he had
to back what he needed eleven or twelve miles. ,

After the death of his first wife, he continued to live on the farm, with his
son, Cornelius, till Sept. 7, 1828, when he married Mrs. Phippen, and moved on
to her place, in Athens. He remained there until the spring of 1840, when,
desiring to live with his son, Cornelius, who was the mainstay of the family,
the latter built a small house for them near his own place, in Grafton. In getting
the lumber from the mill for the new house he fell, receiving injuries from which
he never recovered, dying Sept. 28, 1840. Levi and his wife moved into the new
house about the first of June, 1840. After living there about a year, they went
back to Athens, where they spent the remainder of their lives. He died Nov.
29, 1846, aged 87 years, and his wife died a few months later.

He married I, Prudence , who died July 11, 1822, aged

60 yrs.

He married II, Sept. 7, 1828, Mrs. Mary Phippen, widow of Paul
Phippen, of Athens, Vt. She died Mar. 31, 1847 ; aged 93 years.

159. JOSEPH FAIRBANKS of Templeton, Mass.

(67), Joseph V, Joseph IV, J.ibez III, Jonas II, Jonathan I.

Born Dec. 5, 1743 ; died May 12, 1784.

He was a soldier of the Revolution, and one of the minute men
who answered the Lexington Alarm in 1775, and the Bennington
Alarm in 1777. See War Rolls.

His will, which was presented for probate May 18, 1784, mentions
wife Asenath, and daughters, Thankful, Polly, Abigail, Asenath, Susa
and only son Joseph. In 1791 the estate was finally settled, and a
guardian appointed for the three younger children. He was a car-
penter by occupation. While putting the finishing touches on a
church steeple, the scaffold gave way, and he fell to the ground and
was killed.

In his will he calls himself Joseph Jr. of Harvard ; in a deed of
the heirs of Jonathan Osgood, of Lancaster, (Worcester Deeds vol.
59 fol. 355), he is described as of Templeton. These facts are stated
because there was another Joseph Jr. of Harvard, and the records
fail to make any distinction between the two.

His wife was Asenath, daughter of Jonathan and Asenath (Sawyer )
Osgood, of Lancaster. She was born Dec. 24, 1744, and married
after Mar. 7, 1766, when she signed a petition for the probate of her
father's will.

Mar. 11, 1768, she deeded, with her husband and several others,

land in Lancaster to Aaron Sawyer. She married (2), Capt.

Wilder, a Revolutionary Soldier. She survived him.

County, and bought a farm in the West part of the town, which,
about 1820, was set off as a separate township, and called Eagle.

He was an extraordinary man, renowned for his great physical
strength, as well as for his rare intellectual gifts and courage. His
strength was proverbial; — " as strong as Chet. Fairbank," was a
common saying among his acquaintances, and he was the oracle of
the neighborhood, an arbiter of disputes, and a certain source of
help in emergencies.

In 1849 an effort was in progress to secure the pardon of his son,
Rev. Calvin Fairbank, who was serving a sentence of imprison-
ment for a term of fifteen years, in Kentucky, for freeing slaves in

Born in VVinthrop, Me., July 24, 1774.

Leaving home while young he was attracted toward the beautiful
and fertile region of the Sandy River, which was then open to settlers,
and thither he went in 1792. The outlook was promising, and two
years later, upon the incorporation of the town, he had cleared land,
erected buildings, and planted the first orchard in the settlement. In
1808 he built the mills located at the little village of Fairbanks, which
was named in his honor. In addition to farming and milling, he car-
ried on mercantile pursuits, and also dealt largely in buying and
selling livestock.

Col. Fairbanks was a man of energy and enterprise and much
employed in public affairs. He was active in religious and educa-
tional movements, and his name appears on the original subscription
list, in aid of the Farmington Academy; in 1821 he was appointed
trustee. He held various military and town offices and commanded
the First Regiment (Me.) in the War of 1812. In 1819 he repre-
sented the town in the General Court of Massachusetts and after-
wards served as state senator.

" His death was caused by falling from his wagon, Sept. 12, 1831,
while driving from Augusta to Farmington with a load of merchan-
dise."

He married. Mar. 15, 1796, Martha, daughter of Jacob and Eliza-
beth (Thorne) Eaton, who was born in Bristol, Me., Apr. 11, 1770,
and died in Farmington, Sept. 17, 1842.

244. Capt. DENNIS FAIRBANKS, of Winthrop, and Presque
Isle, Me.

(102), Benjamin VI, Joseph V, Joseph IV, Joseph III, John II, Jonathan 1.

Born Apr. 16, 1790. Early in life he engaged in business in
Hallowell and Boston. He was a millwright by trade, also a mer-
chant and lumberman. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and
acted as spy in the American Army. Later he organized the Mon-
mouth Light Artillery.

In 1829 he made an exploring tour through the wilderness of
Aroostook County, and the following year sent his men with three
bateaux of supplies up the Penobscot river, and across the " carry,'*
to the Aroostook river, his objective point being what is now the
town of Presque Isle. He was the first settler there, and began at
once to clear land, erect buildings, and lay out plans for a village.
Preparations for lumbering were commenced, mills built, stores
opened, and a flourishing settlement was soon springing up out of
the forest. He was for many years one of the prominent men of
upper Aroostook, and possessed great business talent, but his energy
sometimes led him beyond that prudence and sagacity so essential to
long-continued prosperity.

He was a representative in the State Legislature in 1843.

During the time that Gov. Enoch Lincoln's body lay in state at
Augusta, in 1829, he commanded the Guard of Honor which did
military duty. He died, in New Brunswick, Nov. 8, 1867.

246. LEVI FAIRBANKS, of Winthrop, and Monmouth, Me.

* (103), Joseph VI, Joseph V, Joseph IV, Joseph III, John II, Jonathan I.

He was born August 12, 1778, and was reared on his father's
farm in Winthrop. The length of his residence there, however, is
uncertain ; in 1799, he was first taxed in Monmouth, but as he after-
wards inherited the paternal estate, he probably lived there until his
permanent removal to Monmouth.

In the War of 1812 he enlisted as sergeant. In 1826-27 he was
selectman of Winthrop, and in 1829 he built the mill now known as
the Annabesscook mill. This created a new industry which proved
of great benefit to the town. Mr. Fairbanks was a man of position
and influence in the community. He was selectman of Monmouth,
and Justice of the Peace in 1840. He had fine business qualifica-
tions, and possessed in a remarkable degree the common family
characteristic, — mechanical skill.

He married, August 30, 1798, Joanna (Hannah) York, who died
in Grand Rapids, Mich., Sept. 12, 1859. She was the daughter of
Joseph and Susanna (Howe) York. His death occurred in Grand

where he cleared land, erected buildings and made a home for his
family. Although a farmer, he yet possessed the mechanical skill
common to his kindred. In 1843 he removed to that part of
Hallowell, now Manchester, where he died February 5, 1860. He
was an original member of the Baptist Church in Gardiner, and one
of its deacons.

the importance attached to the affairs of state, and never failed to
vote at each presidential election. In 1820, he and his wife united

the occupation of a farmer, and also taught school. He was com-
missioned Justice of the Peace, Oct. 27, 1830, and was Chairman of

firmly maintain his rights against unjust encroachments.

He was very industrious ; reared a large family, on a moderate income ;
never contracted a debt he could not or did not pay; lived as well, if not better
than the average of his neighbors, and died leaving his real estate unencumbered,
and money in the bank. He owned, at the time of his decease, in addition to the
original home place, seven acres of farming land, and seven acres of wood land.

The lesson of his life was constantly impressed upon the minds of his sons,
who were early taught that they must fight the battle of life for themselves.
They were naturally directed into the channels of mechanical trades, but, strange
to say, not one of them followed permanently the trade he had learned.

All the sons had a good common school education ; but one aimed higher,
and succeeded, by his own efforts, in fighting his way through college, and was
graduated with all the honors of his class.

Although not fortified by the " faith which was once delivered unto the
saints," he possessed the true spirit of Christianity, without any public pro-
fessions. The Golden Rule he accepted as an ample rule of conduct, and lived
up to it. In advance of his time, with thoughtful and liberal views, he was
exceedingly tolerant of opinions and beliefs which differed from his own. He
was no propagandist, and almost invariably abstained from taking part in
religious discussions. Silence was his forte. Fine-spun distinctions between the
" Covenant of grace " and the " Covenant of .works," never troubled him, but he
believed in the Covenant of works.

His character was well exemplified upon his dying bed. In anticipation of
his death within a few days, he made his will, and talked over his affairs, with as
much serenity and composure as he would have manifested in the prime of life,
in the transaction of any ordinary business.

Married I, Apr. 9, 1822 (Intentions entered, in Pepperell, Mar. 2,
1822), Abigail Tufts, of Roxbury, N. H., daughter of Ebenezer and
Betsey Tufts. She was born Sept. 24, 1803, and died Mar. 26, 1846.
She was an active member of the Presbyterian church, of strict,
puritanical ideas ; a woman of highly sensitive organization, and of
an intellectual cast of mind. Her energy and marked executive
ability were proverbial.

He married II, Rebecca G. Clarke, of New Boston, who died

5. Franklin, born Sept. 2, 1829 ; died in Perrysburg, O., where

he had lived for over thirty years, Jan. 11, 1892.

He was by trade a wheelwright, and a master workman. Was an eccentric
character; lived the life of a recluse, and was never married. He owned in
Perrysburg, two or more houses, and lived alone in one of them. He was very
fond of old books, pictures and relics of ever}* kind, of which he had cartloads
when he died. The walls of his house were hung with forty-five antique guns
and pistols, and he had an immense store of curiosities, specimens of minerals,
&c. Only a short time before his death, he conveyed his real estate to a family
living in one of his houses, in consideration of their contract to take care of him
during the remainder of his life, and then made a will, giving them all his personal
property. After his death money was found buried in his cellar. One newspaper
report, believed to be exaggerated, says that, "A stone was lifted up, and the
recess beneath was found to be filled with loose coin and quart cans brimful of
gold, silver and copper money."

6. Ferdinand, born Nov. 7, 1830.

He learned the machinist's trade in Lowell and Boston. Was a genius of
remarkable skill. Went to California, and afterward to Peru, S. A., where he
lived many years. Was engaged there in "installing " sugar mill "plants," being
agent of a Boston firm. For one or two years he was superintendent of the
machinery department of the Mint in Lima.

He has not been heard from since about the year 1870, and is supposed to
be dead. Was reported murdered ; and again there was a report that he died in
a hospital. Neither report has been confirmed. He was known to have con-
siderable money, and may have been the victim of foul play. What became of
him or his money, is an unsolved mystery.

He was a man of superior physique; weight 180 lbs., height 5 ft. ll ^ in.,
athletic, brave and fearless, even to a fault. He was very daring, and often met
mounted bands of Spanish robbers on the plains, sometimes having encounters
with them. He would stand his ground against odds, or, by strategy and
Parthian shots, escape on his fleet pacer. He was always peaceably inclined, but
had a thorough contempt for the treacherous little Spaniards, and, with a fair
show, was a good match for half a do/en of them. Perhaps, at last, he was
overcome, robbed and killed.

and protection of the homeless and friendless, his active public spirit,
and his genial, kindly ways."

He fought his way in the world from the time he was thirteen years of age,
beginning in Boston. He learned the trade of saddler and harness maker, in
Thompson, Conn. In 1802 he removed to Newport, N. Y., and finally settled in
Watertown, N. V., about the year 1808. Here he built up a business of great
magnitude. " He was a saddle and harness maker, leather maker, boot and
shoe manufacturer, wagon maker, farmer, dealer in real estate, builder, and
store keeper, carrying on an extensive trade in the staples of the country. It is
certainly a rare record that, in the prosecution of his mechanical operations, he
employed more than 500 apprentices ; that for more than 30 years he kept over
100 men employed, and for 44 years fed and clothed as many as 200 persons."

He was a life member of the Jefferson County Agricultural Society.
In 1812 he was appointed Deputy U. S. Marshal, and continued to
hold the office about 28 yrs. In 1821 he was appointed Sheriff of the
County, and then was elected for one term, under the new Constitu-
tion, which closed in 1825. He was County Treasurer from 1828 to
1838.

Having suffered from the lack of scholastic education, he took
good care that his children should have the early advantages denied
to him. They were as well educated as any family ever brought up
in Northern New York.

His connection with the " Whittlesey Affair," soon after the close
of the war of 1812, gave him wide notoriety. He was one of the
bondsmen of Whittlesey, as brigade paymaster of the militia. Whit-
tlesey had received $35,000 for the purpose of paying off the N. Y.
State Militia. He pretended that he had been robbed of $8,700, and,
under evil influences, when he found himself watched, and feared
detection, he was induced to attempt to take the balance of the money
and flee to some distant country. Fairbanks, with the aid of Purley
Keyes, the other bondsman, by stratagem and force, compelled him
to confess and give up the money. They took him to a lonely place
where there was a pit filled with water, threw him in, and threatened
to drown him, if he did not confess and inform them where the money
was, which they more than suspected was hid in or about his house.
He stoutly protested his innocence. They proceeded to plunge him
in a second time, and held him there until, to their amazement, he was
apparently dead. They, however, succeeded in restoring him to
consciousness. Still persisting in his innocence, they made him
believe that a third plunge would be a final one, and then he suc-
cumbed, confessed, and led them to the place where the money was
concealed, and allowed them to take it.

(128), Rulu* VI, Eleazcr V, Elcasur IV, Eliesur III, George II, Jonathan I.

Born in Halifax, Mar. 25, 1790; died Apr. 15, 1841. At an early
age he was sent to the Academy in Windsor, at that time under the
management of Rev. Dr. Cochran, who afterward became Vice Presi-
dent of the College. Af the early age of fourteen he was declared
fully qualified for admission to the College. The statutes in force at
that period, however, restricted the entry of students to the age of
sixteen. Excluded by a positive rule, and being too young to com-
mence his studies for the legal profession, he was sent by his parents
to a Seminary in Quebec, where he remained some time, during which
he acquired a knowledge of the French language, which he spoke flu-
ently on his return to Nova Scotia. He possessed a remarkable
talent for the acquisition of the modern languages, and, although he
did not speak others with the same fluency as French, he was at a
subsequent period of his life frequently engaged in translating docu-
ments used as evidence in the Admiralty Courts, as well as for other
purposes.

After his return from Quebec he commenced the study of law in
the office of the late Simon Robte, one of the most distinguished bar-
risters of that period. He was admitted to the bar in 1811, and, until
1834, enjoyed a large and lucrative practice. He was first Solicitor
General for the Province of N. S. in 1*32. In 1834 he was appointed
Judge of the Court of Vice Admiralty, and Master of the Rolls, the
duties of which he discharged till his death, in 1841. In the per-
formance of his judicial duties he was painstaking and faithful. His
judgments were carefully prepared, and the causes disposed of with
as little delay as possible.

In the year 1824 he was elected one of the representatives to the
Legislature for the City of Halifax. He was an active and laborious
member, and took a prominent part in the discussion and furtherance
of all measures of importance. His speeches bear evidence of the
care with which he studied every public question, and the extent of
his general knowledge. He served as a representative continuously
from 1824 to 1834. Extract from CampbeWs History of Nova Scotia.

301. WILLIAM BLAGDEN FAIRBANKS, of Halifax, N. S.

(lis;. Rufus VI. KUa/er V. Kk.isur IV, Elicsur III. George II, Jonathan I.

Born in Halifax, Apr. 19, 1790. He died in Briar Cottage, Hali-
fax, May 30, 1873. At an early age he entered into mercantile
pursuits which resulted eventually in the formation of the firm of
Fairbanks & Allison. The early career of this firm was singularly
successful, and almost from its formation it became the largest com-
mercial house in the British provinces, and their private signal, the
blue burgee, became known in every part of the world. Their first
vessel, the Indus, a brig, paid for herself the first voyage. At one

time they had a fleet of from thirty to forty vessels trading with the
West Indies, South America, the Mauritius, Russia, and various other
countries. Mr. Fairbanks retired from business at a comparatively
early age, and identified himself with the Chamber of Commerce, In-
surance companies, and other institutions in his native place. He
entertained liberally, and his hospitality was noted in military, naval,
and civic social circles. He was held rin the highest respect and
esteem by his fellow citizens.

His wife was Letitia Collins, the 20th child of Hallet and Patty
(Freeman) Collins, of Liverpool, N. S. Their union extended over
nearly fifty years. She was born in Liverpool, N. S., in 1808, and
lived to be 81 years of age. The longevity of the Fairbanks family
and their wives, in Nova Scotia, is one of the most remarkable points
connected with its history. With the exception of those who died in
infancy, nearly all attained to old age. A remarkable instance exists
in the case of Rufus, the founder, who was bom in 1759, and whose
daughter, Mary Ann (Allison) died in April 1896, at the age of 96, a
period of one hundred and thirty-seven years between the date of
birth of the father and death of the child.

He came to St. Johnsbury, alone, in 1812, and for ten years there-
after, in that and neighboring towns had severe training in the school
of difficulties and reverses. He acquired early maturity of character
and purpose; habits of frugality, industry, persistence; knowledge of
men and various business. Following the invention of the platform
scale by his brother Thaddeus, he became head of the firm of E. and T.
Fairbanks & Co., a position which he held for thirty years, during

which time under his energetic and skilful management the business
grew to large proportions and well established fame.

In 1836 he was sent to the State Legislature, where from the first he
was a leader, especially active in the interests of education and tem-
perance. He was a presidential elector of the Whig party in 1844, and
again in 1848. About this time he was actively pushing the construc-
tion of the Passumpsic Railroad, of which he was President, from
White River to St. Johnsbury, at which terminus he greeted the first
engine in Nov. 1850. Two years later he was elected Governor of
Vermont, and among other important legislative acts he had the satis-
faction of affixing his signature to the Prohibitory Liquor Law, which
with some modifications has ever since remained in force. In 1860
he was a second time called to the chief magistracy, this time to be
known as 44 the War Governor " of Vermont. The situation was at
first exceedingly embarrassing, but the people had such confidence in
his wisdom and integrity that 44 the extra session of Legislature which
met eight days after the firing upon Sumter, had the good sense to
place at his entire disposal a million of dollars, putting no check upon
the use of it only as his judgment might deem prudent and best. To
those acquainted with his good judgment, strict integrity, his high
sense of impartial right, his systematic business habits so early and
continuously trained to grasp business matters on a large scale, the
result was no surprise." In acknowledgment of his delicate, labori-
ous and successful official acts, joint resolutions, most complimentary,
were passed by the Senate and House. On his retirement from office,
it was found that 44 the salary to which he was entitled was never
touched, and it remains in the treasury of the State, another evidence
of his generous love for Vermont, whose interests were dearer to him
than his own, and an honor to both people and Executive."

From earliest manhood Gov. Fairbanks was a devoted, active,
public-spirited, christian man. He was for fifty years a pillar in the
home church, Congregational ; and in later life a member and officer
of many benevolent boards, which he supported by liberal contribu-
tions of money, time and personal service. 44 In christian efficiency
he stood in the front rank of our most devoted lay-membership."
44 He could not brook low aims and poor performances. He was a
positive quantity and power. Just where God placed him he stood.
Calmly he listened to the voice of duty. Resolutely he handled the
simple and obvious elements of his destiny. He was both strenuous
and patient, frank and reserved, sincere and wary." 44 His candor,
zeal, judgment, his promptness and recollection in the midst of most

Five times during his ministry he went abroad, twice extend-

trip he was detained several months, being ill with the
Syrian fever. His winning manners drew around him
a large circle of friends. His mind was enriched by
reading and travel, and in private conversation, as well as
public address, he was entertaining and instructive. He
was eminently successful as a pastor, his influence being

fully diffident, and, indeed, in all his long life was never really well.
The society of his refined mother was more congenial to him than
that of the rough boys of his own age, and home study partly made
up for the lack of school privileges, which, in those years of failing
crops, could not be given him. He learned to use tools, as by in-
tuition, exemplifying the mechanical bent of the family. Moving to
Vermont with his father in 1815, after building their mills, he first
made wagons, then, in 1823, established a small iron foundry, doing
much of the work with his own hands, and, being joined by his
brother Erastus, went on under the name of E. & T. Fairbanks. His
parlor stove and his patented cooking stove sold well, where only the
open fire had been used before, and he invented and introduced the
plow with cast-iron mould board, now universally used, its novelty
being attested by the patent which he obtained.

In 1829 he built hemp dressing machines, and, as manager of the
hemp mills, needed to weigh what he bought. Such a necessity for

such a man must prove the mother of invention. To suspend a cart
by chains from one end of a long timber overhead, and balance it by
weights hung from the other end, was too clumsy a method. He first,
in 1830, planned to balance a platform on the middle pivots of an
A-shaped lever, the apex of which hung from a steel yard beam, when
it occurred to him that by using two such levers, or four straight
ones, he could support the four corners of a platform upon knife
edges which would all stand in the same relation of leverage to the
indicating beam, and correctly weigh a load upon any part of this
platform. This was the first platform scale.

Mr. Fairbanks at once saw that the same principle of construction could be
applied to scales of all sizes, and- set about the immense work of making plans
and patterns, having to consider. all •„ the problems of correctness, strength, light-
ness, symmetry and beauty, and succeeded so well that all American scales now,
after sixty years, follow his designs. Me made new modifications to meet various
wants, and at the time of his death the price list of E. \ T. Fairbanks & Co.
showed some six hundred varieties, from the prescription scale, weighing the
fraction of a grain, to the huge machines weighing a canal boat or a train of cars.
He also built many very ingenious machines for facilitating the manufacture.
To see an end to be desirable was to devise a machine to accomplish it.

He obtained thirty-two I'nited States Patents, for scales, and also patents
for a hemp machine, Moves.' a cast-iron plough, "a device for creating draught, a
steam heater, a feed water heater, patented on his ninetieth birthday, and a refrig-
erator! This last patent he gave away,' not having means to develop it, and it
proved to hv worth. more than a million.' dollars. . This improvement consisted in
plac ing the ice high up. for condensing the tainted vapors, and directing the cold
dry air down upon the articles to be cooled, the arrangement now universally
used for fruit storage and meat packing houses, as well as for refrigerators. This,
the cast-iron plough, and the scale were revolutionary inventions.

The introduction of the scale has so entirely changed the methods of doing
business that it is an essential factor in our civilization, everywhere the arbiter
between buyer and seller, by its accuracy teaching exactness in business methods,
and enforcing strict integrity in business transactions. Almost nothing now is
measured or counted, we hear no more of chaldrons of coal ; the bushel of grain is
no longer a measure, while cattle, sheep and swine are always weighed.

The Fairbanks scales have won for themselves and their inventer the honor
accorded to genius. World's Fairs in London, I'aris, Vienna, Philadelphia and
Chicago gave them the highest awards, and at Vienna the F.mperor 44 most
graciously conferred upon Mr. Thaddeus Fairbanks, Mechanical Constructor, the
Knightly Cross of the Imperial Order of Francis Joseph," the King of Siam gave
him " I'uspamala," the golden medal of Siam, and the Hey of Tunis the decoration
of " Commander of the Order of Iftikar."

Mr. Fairbanks thought upon a great variety of subjects, as shown not only
by the range of his various patents, but also by his early courses of lectures upon
Astronomy and upon Heat ; and, having to design so many buildings, he displayed
no mean ability as an Architect.

His lack of early educational advantages was keenly felt by him, and he did
what he could for others, aiding scores of students to go through college, and, in
1S42, with his brothers establishing the St. Johnsbury Academy, of which for
twenty years he alone assumed the support, and then contributed largely to its
endowment, devoting some $200,000 to this institution alone. He also gave a
Professorship to Middlebury College, and his contributions to missionary objects,
and to many western colleges, amounted to many thousands every year.

Active to the last, his was a beautiful old age. Children loved him and clung
to him. A little child, taken to church for the first time, saw him come in, and
in an awed whisper asked, " Mamma, is that Jesus?" He died after a painful
illness from the indirect effect of a fall. On the day of his funeral all business
was suspended in St. Johnsbury, and churches and public buildings were draped
in mourning.

Mr. Fairbanks reflected his Puritan ancestry in his character and
tastes ; pure, upright and conscientious, and, though exceedingly taci-
turn, an attractive, impressive man. A man of Christian faith, of
spiritual insight and force, and of fine native gifts, he was successful
above most men in his chosen lines of work, and was useful wherever
he was successful.

He married, Jan. 17, 1820, Lucy Peck Barker, a native of St.
Johnsbury, whose father, Barnabas, came with his father, John, and
the first settlers of the town, and in 1791 brought his bride, Ruth
Peck, from Rehoboth, Mass., on a pillion behind him. Both John
and Barnabas Barker were revolutionary soldiers, and in the battle of
Bunker Hill.

Mrs. Fairbanks was a woman of marked ability, taking her full
share in the care of the family, and widely loved for her kindly deeds.

She was born Apr. 29, 1791), and died in St. Johnsbury, Dec. 29,
I860.

Born in Brimfield, Mass., Nov. 26, 1806. Died, in St. Johnsbury,
May 15, 1855.

He began active life with the practice of law, subsequently joined
his brothers in the scale-manufacturing partnership which he served
till his death, 22 years after. His business abilities were of the very
first order ; much of the early success of the enterprise was due to
his sagacity, minute attention to details and facility in dealing with
men and problems. His mind was strong, capacious, alert, and re-
markably well balanced. He took broad views of everything, was
deeply religious, and unsparing in his efforts for the good of men.
He was intelligently familiar with law, theology, science, history, lit-
erature. He had singular capacity for absorbing ideas, collating
facts, transacting all sorts of business, influencing men.

He was averse to public life, while in more ways than men ever
knew he was influencing public opinion and pushing needed reforms.
He was influential in the legislature, especially in securing the Ver-
mont prohibitory law, also the enactments for improvement of common
schools, to all of which he gave years of effort with voice, pen and
money. He sent out hundreds of pages of letters and press articles
on almost every theme of current importance, such as agriculture,
practical science, meteorology, home life, books and reading, religious
and political issues, the Sabbath, slavery, temperance, education,
missions, benevolence; a good while before the issue of Irving's Life
of Washington he had urged that author to write a History of the
United States ; in the columns of one of the Boston journals he advo-
cated the establishment of a City public library, two years before the
corner stone of that institution was laid ; he was a leader in the
founding of St. Johnsbury Academy.

Mr. Fairbanks was a man of strong individuality, stoutly main-
taining personal convictions without ever alienating the love and
confidence of those who differed from him. He was aboundingly

and modestly benevolent, distributing multitudes of gifts anonymously
and with a fine sense of adaptation ; his purse was open freely to
every worthy cause ; the larger part of his property was bequeathed
to benevolent objects, religious and educational. He crowded a long
life into a few years, and died, as a consequence, prematurely, at the
age of forty-eight.

Born in Brimfield, Mass., Feb. 2, 1813; removed to Terre Haute,
Ind., in 1835, where he spent the remainder of his life. He was one
of the early and most prominent settlers of V igo County. While he
only rated himself as a farmer, and was as unassuming as any culti-
vator of the soil on the Wabash, yet, by sheer force of intellect and
integrity, he became a strong factor in the political and general de-
velopment of that part of the Slate. His judgment and advice were
sought by many, and his influence became widely extended. Though
never an office seeker, the partiality of friends at times forced bim to
not only lead, but to occupy political places of honor. In this way he
was elected to fill the office of Mayor of Terre Haute, and was also
elected and served a term as County Treasurer. He died during his
term of office as Mayor, Apr. 8, 187S.

vast wilderness, almost uninhabited save by wild beasts. His resi-

money. The traffic was barter trade, in grain, sugar, and ashes. The
collector of School taxes was wont to call on his few scattered fellow
citizens with a grain bag and measure in hand, soliciting from them a
half bushel, a peck, or two quarts of grain, as the case might be.
School teachers were paid in store goods. The minister even came
under the barter system. The salary usually paid him was $400 per
annum, one half money, and the other half meat, stock and grain.

He was a sterling common sense man, of strong religious convic-
tions, and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the community.

He was a self made man, and rose from the humble walks of life
by his indomitable will and sterling integrity. He was a man of
marked character and great determination, — a strong friend and a
bitter foe, — never happier than when battling for the right in
Church or State.

The following abstract from an obituary notice written by an
intimate friend, may justly be reproduced here : —

T became acquainted with Dr. Fair bank at the outbreak of the late war,
when I found him with the harness on fighting the battles of freedom for the
black man, for he was all his life a consistent and determined Abolitionist, which
I deem to be a crown of all civic virtues in this world of iniquity. He was one
of the Old Guard, as the Abolitionists were rightly called, and did as much in his
own place and station as Garrison ever did. But higher than all this was his
claim to Christian excellence. He was a member of the 3rd Presbyterian Church,
and his pastor, Mr. Ray, and his fellow members, can bear ample testimony to his
bright Christian character ••*•**.

The name of Dexter Fairbank is known to hundreds of the sable children
whom he helped out of slavery in the dark days of the Republic, when it was a
crime to be their friend, and many an eye among the escaped ones will drop a
tear over the memory of their faithful friend, as this news comes to them. Nor
will there be less regret in the circle of the eminent Abolitionists still surviving,
whose friendship he enjoyed. " And the memory of their works shall never pass
away from among men." This may truly be said of the deceased.

his father's. During the following summer he built the large mansion

aged 83 yrs. 10 mos. 12 ds.

He was a well known, zealous and successful teacher for many
years. He enj'oyed the advantages of the Westford Academy, an
institution of high standing, and at the age of about sixteen years was
called to take the charge of a winter school. His success in this,
and one or two others of the same class, induced him to make teach-
ing the occupation of his life.

Having been employed in Weymouth, and Milton, as a teacher of
winter schools for some years, he was appointed master of the only
annual school in Milton. Here he remained several years, and, after
having charge of one of the Dorchester schools a short time, was
called to the Grammar Department of the Girls' School in Charles-
town, in July, 1820. In this school he was eminently successful,
especially as a teacher of reading.

From Charlestown he was appointed to the writing department of
the old Adams School in Mason street, Boston, where he remained
until 1845, when he left the service of the city, and opened a private
school in Milton, which he continued for several years.

Soon after he became a resident of Milton, he united with the
Congregational Church, of which Rev. Dr. Gile was pastor, and was a
beloved and revered member of the same at the time of his death.
He was ever an active friend of Sabbath schools.

Married Sarah Elizabeth Gulliver, of Milton, May 27, 1827, who
died Dec. 24, 1*70.

The following words are quoted from an old letter, written by a
friend of the family soon after his decease.

" I was but a girl when the Fairbanks came from New Ipswich to
Oakham, but I remember them well, — a family of brothers, all
enterprising and influential. They put new life into the town, and
new ideas into the minds of many, — ideas of good will, kindness and
helpfulness, and from that hour, till one by one they passed from
mortal sight, they all fulfilled the rich promise of their youth. The
world is better for them, and will be in ages yet to come, inasmuch as
good deeds are immortal."

Another wrote of his life as being one of " Rare beauty and
cheerfulness, not lived to himself, but for others," and added, " The
dear Fairbank family of that old time generation, are now all
gathered in the world beyond. They were a genial race, naturally
loving to do good, as they had opportunity, and giving a world of
cheer and brightness to others."

At the beginning of the civil war he was a resident of Memphis, Tenn.,
where he had resided for several years, and where his property was located. His
sympathy with the North was well known, and, on his refusing to join the Con-
federate army, he was about to be pressed into that service, when he was taken
sick with a fever. This gave him a short respite, and, as soon as he had sufficiently
recovered, he escaped from the city, in company with two other Northern men, in
Oct., 1861. They made their way down the Mississippi river, and, having a
place of concealment, they remained in the marshes, living on fish and game, until
the following May. During this time they had seen no one, and supposing that
the war must be over, they returned to Memphis. Here they were arrested and
placed on board a Confederate gunboat going down the river. One night, soon
after leaving Memphis, the boat was obliged to seek shelter, from a storm,
behind an island. During the dashes of lightning Mr. Fairbanks recognized the
island, and, having communicated this to his friends, the three managed when
unobserved, to slip over the side of the boat and escape to the land. Unfortu-
nately the owner, and only inhabitant of the island, was a rebel. He was
acquainted with Mr, Fairbanks, and although he received the fugitives into his
house, on the following morning he and his two sons took the only boat, and
went for officers to arrest them. This man's wife, however, was in sympathy with
the Union cause, and, after the departure of her husband and sons, concealed the
men in a smoke house, and locked it on the outside. On their return the rebels
searched the whole island but did not think of looking in the smoke house, as it
was locked from the outside. After dark the woman let them out, and they took
the boat and started for New Orleans, which was occupied by the Union army.
Traveling by night and hiding during the day, it took eight days to reach their
destination. Here they enlisted in the 12th regiment, Maine Volunteers. After

He was a useful scout for the American army during the war of

service during that engagement, for which he received the thanks of
his commanding officer.

In 1822 he was employed by the American Fur Co., under the
late John Jacob Astor. He filled all the positions of trust as chief
trader, with profit to his employers and great credit to himself, until
the dissolution of the company in 1835. He then entered the service
of the Northwest Fur Co., successors to the American Fur Co., and
remained in their service until their dissolution in 1 848.

He was known to every Chippewa Indian in Minnesota, and was
master of the Indian languages. He was a man of high moral
worth, strictly temperate in his habits, charitable to a fault, and noted
for his tender affection for his children. He was the soul of honor,
and it has often been said that he had not an enemy in the world.

Married, in Mackinaw, Mich., Mary Sayer, whose mother was the

469. Rev. CALVIN FAIRBANK, Angelica, N. Y.

(207), Chester VI, Calvin V, Joshua IV, Jaber III, Jonas II, Jonathan I.

Born, in Pike, N. Y., Nov. 3, 1810. He is still living (Apr.
1897) in Angelica, hale and vigorous, in his 81st year. He has
rendered much valuable assistance in the preparation of the
genealogies of the families in the line of his grandfather, Calvin, for
this book.

He began his academical studies at the seminary in Lima, N. Y.,
but about the same time was attracted to the " new and growing
institution " in Oberlin, O., from which he was graduated in 1844.
While pursuing his course in college, he was licensed to preach, and,
in 1842, was ordained an elder, in the M. E. Church.

The active and radical part which he took in the movement for
the abolition of human slavery in this country, and the imprisonments
and stripes which he suffered, made him a most prominent figure in
the early history of the anti-slavery crusade.

In 1890 he published a most interesting story of his labors in the

cause which he had espoused, entitled " Rev. Calvin Fairbank

during Slavery Times. How he Fought the Good Fight to Prepare

the way." He says :

" Forty-seven slaves I guided toward the North Star, in violation of the state
codes of Kentucky and Virginia. I piloted them through the forests, mostly by

night, girls, — fair and white, dressed as ladies; men and boys, as gentlemen or
servants — men in women's clothes, and women in men's clothes ; on horseback,
in buggies, in carriages, common wagons, in and under loads of hay, straw, old
furniture, boxes and bags; crossed the Jordan of the slave, swimming, or wading
chin deep, or in boats, or skiffs, on rafts, and often on a pine log. And I never
allowed one to be recaptured. None of them so far as I have learned, have ever
come to poverty or disgrace. For aiding these slaves to escape, I was twice
imprisoned, — in all, seventeen years and four months." The punishments
which he received, while in prison, were almost beyond the power of even a man
of his strength to withstand.

He was first arrested in 1844, for aiding slaves to escape from bondage,
together with Miss Delia A. Webster, of Vergennes, Vt., then a school teacher in
Lexington, Ky., who was charged with complicity in his offences. She was tried,
convicted, and sentenced to two years imprisonment. He, seeing the uselessness
of standing a trial, and to aid Miss Webster to procure a pardon, pleaded " Guilty
by Kentucky Statutes," and argued his own case. He was sentenced to the
Kentucky Penitentiary for a term of fifteen years, and was committed Feb. 15,
1845. He was pardoned, Aug. 23, 1849, through the persistent efforts of his
friends, particularly his father, who, while awaiting the action of Gov. Crittenden,
in the matter of the pardon, fell a victim of the cholera, and died in Lexington,

After his liberation from prison he had a great desire to remove the body of
his father, which " lay among strangers, far from any one who cared for him or
revered and loved his memory," and he went south for that purpose, in the fall of
1851. On arriving in Cincinnati he found the weather too warm for such an
undertaking, and was forced to wait for a cooler season. While waiting, he took
the field, with others in the river tier of counties, in Indiana, in opposition to the
proposed amendment to the constitution of that state, which prohibited persons of
African descent from settling in Indiana. While engaged in that work he was
induced to undertake the rescue of Tamar, a young mulatto woman, who was
doomed to be sold on the block. lie crossed the Ohio river, on that mission, by
night, at Louisville, and, conducted her to a place of safety, in Indiana. On the
9th of November, while planning to go the next day, to Lexington, to disinter the
body of his father, he was kidnapped in Jeffersonville, Ind., and carried into
Kentucky, and, in the following March, was tried, convicted, and sentenced to
fifteen years imprisonment at hard labor, and was taken from jail to the peniten-
tiary in Frankfort, in irons, March 9, 1852. He remained in prison until April
15, 1864, when he was pardoned by Lieut.-Gov. Richard T. Jacob.

Among those whom Mr. Fairbank and Miss Webster assisted to escape were
Lewis Hayden and his wife and son. Mr. Hayden became prosperous, and for
some time held an official position in the state house, in Boston. He died some
years ago. and the property which he had accumulated, amounting to four or five
thousand dollars, was bequeathed by his widow, who died Dec. 24, 1893, to
Harvard University, to found a scholarship for the benefit of poor and deserving
colored students.

He married I, in Oxford, Ohio, June 0, 1864, Mandana, daughter
of Cornelius and Elvira (Williams) Tileston, who was born in

July 7, 1849.

Tileston, to whom I was engaged in 1851, had left her New England
home and repaired to Ohio, where she could watch over my condition,
and if possible render me service, and established a temporary
residence in Oxford, as a teacher, so that she could watch events,
through friends in Cincinnati and Frankfort. Through her and
others I was constantly supplied with money and articles of comfort
during that whole period, from 1852 to April 15, 1864. As often
as her vacations would allow she visited me, in prison, strengthen-
ing my heart, and by her open, brave, frank and simple fidelity,
made many friends, among even the most inflexible pro-slavery
citizens."

502. DAVID FAIRBANKS, Rockingham, Vt

(£»), Lewis VI, Oliver V, Benoni IV, Jonathan III, Jonathan II, Jonathan I.

Born in Springfield, Vt, Feb. 26, 1820. Resides in Rocking-
ham ; is a farmer.

He was slender as a child, and in early manhood. His education
was obtained in the common school, supplemented by a few terms at
an academy. He taught school winters, and worked at farming when
able. He studied chemistry while lying upon a couch, being unable
to sit up but a small part of the time. He says the study of chemistry
opened a new world to him, — a world in which he learned the
processes of nature and became conscious of his own ignorance.

Having recovered his health, he started in the summer of 1855, to
go to Kansas, but stopped in Illinois, and worked in a harvest field
till again prostrated by sickness. When able he went to Wisconsin,
taught school in the winter of 1856, and then engaged in selling maps
and books in central and southern Illinois, where he witnessed the
stirring events of the Lincoln and Douglas political campaign. He
had the pleasure of loaning his shawl to Lincoln, after he had made a
speech at a barbacue.

In the spring of 1857, he went to Kansas, and preempted land
near Olathe, remaining in that state and Missouri until 1860, engaged
in teaching. He returned to Vermont on the occasion of the death of
his father, in 1860. Though intending to go back to Kansas, he was
detained by business, and remained in Vermont until 1 862 ; then he
enlisted in the 16th Vt. Infantry. Soon after going to the front, he
was detailed to act as hospital steward for the regiment, in which
capacity he served till he was mustered out He was at the battle of
Gettysburg. In March, 1805, he reenlisted in the 17th Vt. Infantry,
as hospital steward, but on presenting himself for service, he learned
of orders against the mustering in of any more men for this regiment
The delay in getting a special order prevented his muster, the end of
the war being in sight

Since 1 865 he has been engaged in farming and stock raising on
Connecticut River farms, in Springfield and Rockingham, with fair
success.

His first Presidential vote was cast for General Scott, and he has
voted for every Republican nominee for President since that time.
He belongs to the church, and is a firm believer in Christianity.

He married, June 1, 1885, Merriel N. (Bates) Aldrich, daughter of
James and Mary (Grimes) Bates, of Springfield, who was born Feb.
22, 1838. They have had no children.

511. HIRAM TOLBERT FAIRBANKS, Petaluma, Cal.

(2*9). Sht-ldon VII, Nathan VI, Nathan V, John IV, John III, John II, Jonathan I.

Born Dec. 29, 1827, in Manchester, Indiana.

When 19 years old he emigrated to Iowa, settling in Augusta,
Des Moines county, where he made his home with the Hon. Levi
Moffett. In 1849 he returned to Indiana, and the following year he
crossed the plains to California, where he engaged in mining with his
brother, Augustus D. Fairbank, at Mormon Island, on the south fork
of the American river. Success attended him in his mining
operations, and he returned to Indiana in 1851, going from there
to Iowa, where he followed merchandising. In addition to his
mercantile pursuits, he engaged in milling, which he followed with
success until 1859, when he again crossed the plains to the Golden
State, taking with him his wife and four children, and arriving at
Petaluma in the fall. He engaged in farming, in connection with the
lumber trade, until 1861, when he abandoned agriculture, and
established himself as one of Petaluma's merchants in 1862, and also
opened a commission house in San Francisco. Seven years later he
disposed of his business in Petaluma. In 1870 he retired from the
commission business in San Francisco, and embarked in the mercan-
tile trade, with the Hon. A. P. Whitney, in Petaluma. He was one
of the founders of the Petaluma Savings bank, which was organized
in 1870, and has been its manager and president ever since.
Besides his interest in the bank, of which his eldest son, Col. D. B.
Fairbanks, is cashier, he and his sons own the extensive plant known
as the Golden Eagle flour mill, in Petaluma, conducted by J. F. and
W. H. Fairbanks, and a fine large ranch in Humboldt county,
managed by Augustus Fairbanks. He owns an elegant house on D
street, which is in striking contrast with the old Fairbanks home in
which he first lived. The name of Fairbanks is indissolubly con-
nected with the growth and prosperity of Petaluma. Hiram T. and
his sons stand in the front rank of its leading citizens, and are
widely known for their financial ability, unblemished records and
rigid integrity.

He married, July 14, 1852, Lucinda, daughter of Hon. Levi and
Elizabeth (Keek) Moffett, of Augusta, Iowa, who was born in
Orangeville, Iowa, March 2, 18'W.

brother-in-law, William E. Richmond, and their house was always open
to the anti-slavery people.

A daughter writes :

" Many a time I have seen a long table set in our dining room filled with only
colored people, and my sister, Mrs. Peckham, and myself waiting on them. One
or two winters, father gave anti-slavery lectures, I might say, several winters, and
I well remember the first one, when I was a very young child, given in a small
hall by Abby Kelly Foster, and, on her return home with my mother there was
quite a large mob followed them with rotten eggs.

Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, and William Lloyd Garrison always staid
at my uncle's, and we used to enjoy seeing them ; and I could name many others."

learned lessons of industry, self-control, and honesty in the home
circle. In the month of September 1844, he went to Farmington,

EIGHTH GENERATION.

519

At a very early age, influenced by a favorable environment, he became ambi-
tious to go to college. The town had always taken a great interest in the cause
of education. No less than six of his schoolmates in the old red school house
on the hill, were destined for college. Home influences were good, but his parents
had never dreamed of giving any of their sons a liberal education. They thought
that good trades would be their best equipment for the battle of life. His father,
with a large family to support, could not be expected to offer encouragement, in
the way of promising assistance. The son, trained from childhood to habits of
industry and self reliance, preferred to fight his own way, and did, till he reached
the goal of his ambition. He was graduated from Dartmouth College, in the class
of 1852, having paid all his expenses from the beginning of his preparatory course.

After leaving the district school, he embraced every opportunity to continue
his studies. He attended two private schools, at different periods, and later, for
two " Fall Terms," enjoyed the advantages of special schools of academical grade,
conducted in the village by college students or graduates. Afterwards he was
employed for three years in a general country store, gaining there an experience
which, unexpectedly, proved to be the stepping stone to further advancement.
Having acquired some knowledge of single entry bookkeeping, he made a thorough
study of double entry, and taught that and other commercial branches, as a
means of defraying the expenses of his education.

He began his preparation for college at Hancock Academy; followed his
excellent teacher, Prof. Bunnell, after one year, to Townshend (Vt.) Academy,
and finally to Black River Academy, Ludlow, Vt., where his preparatory course
was completed. Then, to replenish a " sinking fund," he taught a grammar
school in Canton, Mass., for one year, after which, in ten weeks of hard study, at
home, he qualified himself, without the aid of a teacher, to pass an examination
in the entire curriculum of the freshman year, and was admitted, without condi-
tions, to the sophomore class in Dartmouth, at the opening of the fall term, 1849.

During his college course he was chosen a member of the Alpha Delta Phi
Society, and, at graduation, was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Was
president of the former, and of the " Social Friends" a public literary society.
In the program of the Commencement Exercises, he was assigned to deliver the
closing oration, which was regarded, nominally, as the only honorary part. There-
was no valedictory address, the honor system, strictly speaking, having been
abolished a few years before, and being then in abeyance, though later readopted.

He studied law in New York City, and was admitted to the bar' in 1853.
Commenced the practice of his profession there, but after three years, " catching
the western fever," he removed to Iowa, settling in Davenport. This step was
unfortunate. The times were unpropitious. The crisis of 1857 was approaching,
and, above all, the legal profession was overcrowded, and there was but a poor
show for new-comers, who had no foothold. Very reluctantly he resolved to
leave his profession, for the time being, and go into a business with which he
was familiar. Receiving a favorable offer, he went to Philadelphia, to take charge
of an established Commercial School. Employed at first on a salary, he became
a partner at the expiration of a year, the partnership continuing for two years
longer, when, not fully satisfied with his associations, he " seceded," and set up
an establishment of his own, with some marked improvements.

The success of the new institution was phenomenal. Over five hundred
students were received the first year, and about seven hundred and fifty the
second year. The patronage was steadily maintained till he retired from the
business in 1868. During this period he prepared and published an elaborate
Treatise on Bookkeeping, an octavo volume of 444 pages. Subsequently he pub-
lished, in New York, a Business Arithmetic, containing some novel features.

In 1874 he came to Boston and resumed the practice of his profession, in
which he has been engaged ever since, occasionally attending to other affairs of
more or less importance. In 1877 he published a small book on " The Marriage
and Divorce Laws of Massachusetts," which had a large local sale, and a revised
edition was issued in 1882.

The compilation of this " Genealogy of the Fairbanks Family," has absorbed
all his spare time for nearly five years, a labor of love and sentiment, with a
pardonable pride in trying to present to his numerous cousins the records of their
honorable ancestry of which, when the work was begun, most of them, as well as
their humble servant, were in dense ignorance.

Married in New York City, July 24, 1856, Mrs. Sarah Elisabeth
Skelton, daughter of Samuel S. and Rebecca (Pearl) Heath, of
Bradford, Mass.

John Pearl, of Boxford,Mass., her grandfather, was a minute-
man, and responded to the Lexington Alarm, Apr. 19, 1775.

She was graduated from Bradford Academy, was a proficient scholar, Latin
being her favorite study. Even during the latter years of her life, she frequently
repeated the Latin fables learned in childhood. She was a rare woman, one on
whom the burden of years rested lightly, and whose heart had kept its youth.
Her trust in her Heavenly Father never faltered, and His leading was right, even
though she could not understand it. She was possessed of a very genial, sympa-
thetic nature, and was the confidant and comforter of the sick, the troubled, and
the afflicted. Her long life was one of love and devotion to her husband and
children. She died in Boston, June 2, 1894.

1800.

His education was derived in the public schools of his native
place, and was completed at the Francestown Academy. After leav-
ing school he went to GofTstown, where he learned the trade of black-
smith. In 1843 he began his indepentent career as a blacksmith,
in the employ of the Amosker.g Corporation in Manchester. In 1857,
his health failing, he left the corporation, and purchased a farm in

supplying all the bread, meat, and provisions, used in the war hospi-
tal at the North End of Manchester, where the wounded soldiers at
the front were removed by the government. He faithfully carried
out this contract, from his two stores, until the hospital was discon-
tinued in 1864.

He was deputy sheriff and jailor of Hillsboro' County, from 1804,
until the State became Democratic ten years later, when he retired to
private life, but soon became interested in the Undertaking firm of
Pearson & Wallace, as a silent partner. Upon the death of Mr.
Pearson in 1884, he became an active partner, and was very success-
ful in this line of business, in which he continued until his decease.
He always took a lively interest in the politics of the city, and State,
being first a Whig, and later an ardent Republican, and filled various
official positions with honor to himself, and advantage to the commun-
ity. Was a member of the Legislature in 1881-X2, County Commis-
sioner from 1883 to 1889, and Chairman of the Board three years;
was a State Senator in 1892-93, serving on important committees.

In every position Mr. Fairbanks made warm friends, and always
held the highest respect and esteem of his fellow townsmen, among
whom he had been a prominent factor for advancement.

For fifty-two years he was a member of the Franklin Street Con-
gregational Church, active in advancing its interests and welfare, and
was chairman of the Building Committee, when the church was re-
modelled in 187*.

He was a member of Mechanics' lodge, No. 13, 1. O. O. F., and
for fifteen years served as quarter master of the Amoskeag Veterans.

He had the entire confidence of the community because he de-
served it ; was one of the few men that are always depended upon to
do things for others, because he knew how and was capable. He
succeeded in business, and leaves a reputation, which is worth to his
friends vastly more than the property he accumulated.

Married, Sept. 10, 1844, Harriet A., (laughter of Joshua B. and
Deborah (Merrill) Dodge, of Francestown, where she was born Dec.

Born in Watertown, Oct. 0, 1818.

He received the best education to be had in the schools of that
day, attending the celebrated French school in Montreal, and grad-
uating at Union College in 1838. Engaging in business with his
father for a number of years, he went to Florida in 1852, where he
became largely interested in the manufacture of lumber ; that business,
now so great, having just then attracted attention as a source of
profit.

During the four years of the civil war Mr. Fairbanks held the commission of
Quartermaster in the Confederate service. Upon the evacuation of Jacksonville,
by the Confederate forces in 1802, the mills, including that of Fairbanks &
Brother, with over a million feet of lumber, were destroyed by order of the
Confederate commander. He remained four years in Richmond, and after the
war of secession closed, returned to Florida, and was engaged, mainly, in newspaper
work, but later was connected with the State lioard of Emigration for Florida —

tion to encourage emigration to Florida. In that State he was always held in the
highest esteem by his fellow citizens. He was a man of extensive culture, and
was a writer of force and cogency. His mind had always a political bias, and his
writings indicate an intricate knowledge of the many abstruse questions which
appear to puzzle the politicians of today. He was greatly respected in the South,
as well as in his old home. Returning to Watertown to prepare his book, he was
taken suddenly ill, and died before his friends realized that he was in danger. He
died Sept. 25, 1881.

He is a lawyer by profession, but his tastes incline to literature. Was gradu-
ated from Union College in 1830, and has received the degree of M. A. from the
same institution. He is the author of the History and Antiquities of St. Augustine,
and of a General History of Florida. He is editor of the Florida Weekly Mirror,
which position he fills more as a pastime than for profit. For several years he
has been President of the Florida Press Association. At the close of the war he
moved to Sewanee, Tenn., and, with others, endeavored to rebuild the destroyed
hopes of the South. He was Professor of History in the University of the South,
in Sewanee, and was one of the original members of the Board of Trustees. He
remained there until 1880, when he returned to Florida and located in Fernandina,
where he now resides. On his return he was once more elected a trustee of the
University of the South, which position he has held ever since.

He is a very prominent lay member of the Episcopal Church, lit was con-
firmed in 1844, by Bishop Elliott of Georgia, in Trinity Church, St. Augustine,
and shortly afterwards became Vestryman, and was for many years Warden of
that Parish. He represented the Parish in the convention of 1850 ; was deputy to
the General Convention in 1853, and has been a deputy almost continuously since,
representing at different times the Diocese of Florida and also that of Tennessee.
In 1801 he was a deputy to the General Convention of the Confederate States.
He is a Vestryman and Warden of St. Peter's Parish, Fernandina. At the Semi-
centennial of the Diocese of Florida, held at Tallahassee, Jan. 18 and 10, 1888. at
the request of the Bishop, he delivered an interesting and instructive address on
the " Early Churchmen of Florida," his familiarity with the History of the Church
in that Diocese for the past fifty years, and his acquaintance with the Churchmen
who helped make that history, eminently fitting him for the duty of writing a
sketch of those churchmen. He was appointed by the General Convention to
represent the National Church at the Synod of the Dominion of Canada, which is
one of the highest honors in the gift of the Convention.

Major Fairbanks is the author and promoter of many of the bene-
ficial laws found upon the statute books of Florida and Tennessee.
He is essentially a public man, and is frequently called upon to repre-
sent the State in National Agricultural and Forestry Conventions.
He has also been for a number of years President of the Florida Fruit
Exchange.

Clark, and was afterward employed by George R. Spurr and G. P.
Harlow.

In 1867, in company with George M. Piper, the present business was
founded in a smaller store at 10 Front street, which forms a part of the present
great establishment. The present store is 22x140, with a basement of equal size.
There is a finely equipped laboratory which extends under the sidewalk, and the
entire premises are filled with the enormous stock, which the demands of the
gTeat wholesale trade, reaching all over New England, make necessary. The
retail department, which is entered from the street, is one of the handsomest
drug stores to be found in New England.

He was the first druggist to build up a wholesale trade in Worcester, and his
business has had a remarkable growth, in part due to the successful pushing of
certain specialties. He employs fourteen clerks and several travelling salesmen.

608. ABEL WHITMORE FAIRBANKS, of Cleveland, Ohio.

(23T), Zabad VII, Abel VI, Elcarcr V, Elcasur IV, Elieaur III, Gcorirc II, Jonathan I.

Born in Cornish, N. H., March 4, 1817.

He inherited from his parents a frame and constitution of very
unusual strength, as well as courage, pluck and firmness of character,
in keeping with his physical attributes. Like many another strong and
peaceable man, these qualities of mind and body were happily
blended with great tenderness of heart, and a sense of humor, that
tended to lighten the burdens of a life of hard work, incident to great
business undertakings and responsibilities.

He was what is called a " self made " man. He achieved success
against obstacles and circumstances, which would have discouraged a
man of less persistence and industry. At about the age of twelve
years he entered a printing office, and served an apprenticeship under
the hard conditions that prevailed in those days, acquiring, however,
a thorough knowledge of every detail of the craft. At that time there
were no power presses outside of the City of New York. Buckskin
balls were then in use instead of rollers, to ink the type form, and the
impressions were worked off by "pulling the Devil's tail," as the
phrase was, in the time of the old Franklin hand press. It was a
hard school, but it turned out a good printer.

In 1836 he was in charge of the job department of the 44 Detroit
Advertiser " ; he purchased the effects of the old 44 Toledo Blade,"
which had suspended publication for want of patronage. He re-
vived it, and started it on the road to the distinguished success it has
since achieved.

In 1849 he removed to Cleveland, Ohio, then a promising town,
and purchased a half interest in the Cleveland 44 Herald," which was
founded in 1810. Here, as in Toledo, his practical ability, shrewd
judgment, and good taste, gave new impulse to the growth and effec-
tiveness of the establishment, of which in the course of years he be-
came sole owner. He took to Cleveland the first modern steam print-
ing press, and he erected for the 44 Herald " the first stone-front
building in Cleveland, and in many ways was identified with the
growth and development of the city, that is now the metropolis of the
lower lake region. The 44 Herald " was recognized for many years
as the leading newspaper of Northern Ohio. He had many interests
outside of the 44 Herald," some of which unfortunately, resulted dis-
astrously for his purse. He was at the head of the company that
built the Euclid Avenue Opera House, since destroyed by fire and re-

built, and he was largely identified with railroad and manufacturing
enterprises of the city, winning for himself a place among the most
progressive and public spirited citizens of Cleveland.

He was never active in politics, although an ardent and steadfast
Republican always, and an earnest supporter of good government.

He was obliged by the impairment of his strength, due to advanc-
ing years, to retire from the " Herald " some years before his death,
and thereafter he lived with his youngest daughter, Mrs. Robinson,
first in Omaha, Neb., and afterward in Boston, where he died on July
4, 1894. He was buried beside his father and mother, in Cleveland, O.

He was twice married, first in Toledo, Jan. 15, 1840, to Alice
Holmes, who died Mar. 22, 1849.

His second wife was Mary J. Mason, to whom he was married, in
Cleveland, Aug. 10, 1852. She is a woman of culture and literary
taste ; was educated at the Troy Female Seminary, and is now en-
gaged in writing the history of the graduates of that institution. While
on a trip to California in 1872, she wrote many interesting sketches of
her travels for the "Old Round Table," a department of her hus-
band's paper, which were afterward published in book form. She
now resides with her daughter, Mrs. Robinson, in Providence, R. I.

Bom in Halifax, N. S., in 1821. Became a civil Engineer, and in

was mooted. He lived, however, to see his theories verified, and to
earn the recognition of his merit by his fellow citizens. An old lady
used to say, " Every householder in our town should say (at every

Received an excellent academic education in the County Schools

tial clerk of E. & T. Fairbanks & Co. ; was soon admitted to partner-
ship, and for 48 years held most important responsibilities in that
firm, being more than half this period its President. The expansion
and solidity of the corporation was largely due to his wise and capa-
ble counsels, and to the general confidence which he personally
inspired. His high character and administrative ability were recog-
nized by many business corporations which he was called to serve
officially — banking, mining, manufacturing, and educational. He was
a chief promoter of the Railway line from Portland to Ogdensburg
via the White Mountain Notch, and President of the Vermont divi-
sion. Though disinclined to accept political office, he was necessa-
rily an important actor in all current interests of his native State. In

can nominating convention, the announcement : " You are to be
Governor of Vermont in spite of yourself." So it proved. He was
elected by a very decisive majority, and gave the state a vigorous
and statesman-like administration, 1876-1878.

He was deeply interested in the welfare of the town, of which he was
a life-long honored citizen. To it, in 1871, he presented the noble
Institution endowed and incorporated under the name of The St.
Johnsbury Athenaeum. This included the free public library,
opened with 8,000 carefully chosen volumes, and the Art Gallery, in
which is shrined a choice selection from representative American and
foreign artists, the central feature of the Gallery being Bierstadt's
" Domes of the Yosemite."

Gov. Fairbanks was a man of fine and noble nature, of great dig-
nity of presence, and sweetness of character. He was broad in all
his views, yet firm in his personal convictions. The resoluteness
with which he held his matured opinions was graced with an unfail-
ing courtesy and gentleness. To his native fineness of perception
and taste he added the refinements of a generous culture, and famil-
iarity with the world's best thought and art. The mark of superior-
ity was on all that he originated or did. His modest and beautiful
home " Pinehurst," with its park-like surroundings, as well as the
characteristic features and equipments of the Athenrtum, embody
and perpetuate much of his ripe thought and sentiment. He was
large and noble in his liberality, a most loyal and lovable Chris-
tian, a man greatly honored through all his life.

Born in St» Johnsbury, June 18, 1828; died Apr. 24, 1895.

Received good academic education, and at the age of 17 began
his connection with the scale business, which was continued just 50
years. He had a natural turn for mechanics, and not only kept him-
self familiar with details of construction, but patented various im-
provements, among them the revolving beam for letter balances
adopted by the government for use in the post offices. He was for
many years superintendent of the Corporation of E. & T. Fairbanks
& Co., and after the death of his brother Horace in 1888, he suc-
ceeded to the presidency of this, and of other business organizations
at home and elsewhere.

He was a member of the staff of Gov. Hall in 1858, also of Gov.
Erastus Fairbanks in 18G0 ; was active in military affairs, superin-
tended the manufacture of artillery and harness irons for the govern-
ment during the civil war. He represented his town in the State
Legislature in 1871-2-3, the last two years being speaker of the house.
For 20 years or more he was an active member of the State republi-
can committee. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity : in 1877
he received the honorary degree of A. M., from Dartmouth College.

He was an intelligent lover of nature ; from boyhood he
was a keen observer and enthusiastic collector of objects of interest

of every sort. His collections, which represented more than half a
century's accumulation of increasingly rare value and variety, were
shrined in a capacious and architecturally elegant building which
was incorporated and presented to the town of St. Johnsbury in 1891,
under the designation of the Museum of Natural Science. This was
designed to be one of the educational features of the town, affiliated
with the Athenaeum, Academy, and Union Schools.

Col. Fairbanks was not only always active in business, but in
social life ; full of geniality and kindly humor; much interested in the
welfare of children and young people. He maintained most friendly
acquaintance with the factory men, and did much in this way to se-
cure good feeling and prosperity to the business. For more than 30
years he was superintendent of the North Church Sunday School, also
for a long time a member of the International S. S. Lesson Com-
mittee. In these and other services to the interests of religion and
of missions he worked with zeal, and added to the permanent influ-
ence of a useful Christian life.

In his childhood Henry was never well, and, when nine years old, was put in
the saddle, and sent daily to Lyndon Academy, seven miles from home, for three
terms. His eleventh year he spent as a student in Pinkerton Academy, Derry,
N. H., where, as the youngest boy in school, he learned to endure hardship. A year
later his father and uncles established the St. Johnsbury Academy, and secured
that prince of instructors, Jas. K. Colby, as principal. There. Henry, studying as

his health would allow, was fitted for college. Hut the mechanical tastes of
the family, indicated by the " Item, 2 vices and one turning-laeth, and other Seuch
things," in the inventory of the estate of Jonathan Fayerbancke, were strong in
Henry, and he spent more time in the shops than in school, making with his boy-
ish hands a good deal of apparatus for elementary instruction in Physics, which is
still in use. In 1848, not being well, he took passage in a sailing vessel for Europe,
where he spent nearly a year. Returning to Dartmouth College in the spring of
1850, he was graduated in 1853, ranking high, especially in Mathematics and
Physics. From College he went to Andover Theological Seminary. In the spring
of 185(5, he again laid down his books, and, in company with Principal Samuel H.
Taylor, went through Egypt, Palestine, Greece, Italy and Switzerland, where he
made the ascent of Mt. Blanc, at a time when it was a rare feat, and the present
safer route had not been opened. Returning, he preached during the winter, and
re-entering the Seminary, was graduated in the class of 1857. He then took up
work under the auspices of the Missionary Society, in behalf of the weakest
churches of Vermont, and, visiting them, studied their individual needs, so that,
having wide acquaintance with theological students, he was able to arrange sum-
mer vacation supplies for nearly forty, during three years, a work that resulted in
bringing new life to many churches that were nearly extinct, and in giving a per-
manent ministry to more than twenty.

Considerations of health induced Mr. Fairbanks to accept an
appointment as Professor of Natural Philosophy in Dartmouth Col-
lege, where he was engaged from 1860 to 1869, when, after his
mother's death, he removed to St. Johnsbury with his family, joining
his father. There he was perfecting various inventions, and also
preaching wherever there was no other supply, and doing what he
could for the general religious work of the denomination. He was
the first President, under its new constitution, of the Convention of
Congregational Ministers and Churches of Vt. and more recently
and until now President of the Vt. Domestic Missionary Society, to
the work of which he devotes a good deal of time. For some years
after 1875 the State Convention of the Y. M. C. A. carried on an
effective evangelistic work in a large number of towns in Vermont,
witnessing most marked religious revivals, with large additions to the
churches, and Mr. Fairbanks was prominent in this work, after the
first year having charge, and directing it as Secretary. He has for
twenty years been a corporate member of the American Board (For-
eign Missions), has been a member of four of the National Councils
of Congregational Churches, and was a delegate to the International
Council in London in 1891, in which year he spent some months
with his family in Europe.

He has been since 1 870 a Trustee of Dartmouth College, and for
many years President of the Trustees of St. Johnsbury Academy,

which institutions have claimed much attention and service from him.
He was ordained when in the missionary service in 1*58, and twenty
years later received the honorary degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

Of late years, recognizing the fact that he had not sufficient health
to allow continuous labor as a minister, Mr. Fairbanks has devoted
himself more to business, developing some of his inventions, for
which he has received a score and a half of patents, and has given
more and more attention to the business of E. & T. Fairbanks & Co.,
of which corporation he is Vice-President.

671. JOHN WALLACE FAIRBANKS, of Petersburg, Mich.

(3W), David VII, Jonathan VI. Moses V, Jonathan IV, Jonathan III, George II,

Jonathan I.

Born in Antwerp, N. Y., July 3, 1836. He died suddenly, of heart
disease, in Petersburg, Aug. 28, 1877.

Left at the age of sixteen, by the death of his father, to care for himself, his
early life was a hard struggle for maintenance and an education, working on a
farm, going to school as opportunity offered, and teaching school afterward. He
took a course of instruction in a commercial school in Rochester, and after gradu-
ating was offered $1,000 salary to keep books in a wholesale liquor store ; but it
was against his principles to engage in that traffic, and he refused the offer, and
accepted a smaller salary in another business. For many years after removing to
Michigan, where he went for his health, he was employed as an agent for the
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Co., and as a dealer in pianos and organs.
While poor health followed him, and prevented his ever becoming a wealthy man,
he left a priceless legacy to his family in an honorable and stainless name
wherever he was known. During "The Whiskey War" in Adrian, Mich., in
1873 or 1874, he was a noted figure against the whiskey ring, even at the risk of
his life. Of more than common intellectual endowments, and of genial and
social powers, he was revered by all.

He married, July 27, 1862, Tryphena, daughter of Henry and
Mary (Keith) Marshall, of Pamela, N. Y., who was born May 25,
1833.

labors have resulted in giving to Springfield one of the best equipped
organizations for the education of the young, in this or any other
state.

He was left fatherless at the age of five years, and went to live with his aunt
Zana, wife of James Quinn, a farmer in Sudbury, Mass. He worked on the farm
till he was nineteen years of age. The district schools furnished him his primary
education, and later he attended the academy in New Ipswich, N. H. When
twenty-one years old he began teaching ; taught one winter in Ashby, Mass., and
four years in Wilmington, Del., going then, in the early fifties, to St. Mary's, O.,
where he was engaged eight years. From the first he made a success of this
calling, and his reputation was established.

His life in St. Mary's was interrupted by one year's teaching in Piqua, O.,
and, after the completion of his labors in St. Mary's, he was for nearly five years
superintendent of the schools in Piqua, resigning to engage in the real estate and
lumber business in Springfield, Mo., which he carried on for ten years. During
this time he was a member of the City Council, and Mayor one year; also a
member of the school board three years, during which time he was President two
years. When he went to Springfield, in 1800, there were no public schools in the
city, though before the war there were excellent private schools. The public
schools were opened in 1807, and Mr. Fairbanks was elected Superintendent in the
fall of 1875. The high school was organized in 1870, while he was a member of
the school board. On assuming charge of the schools as superintendent, he at
once turned his attention to firmly establishing the high school, and improving
its curriculum, and for a number of years not only attended to his duties as super-
intendent, but heard many classes in the high school, really acting as teacher of
the senior class. His duties were very arduous, and his time was fully occupied
many hours daily.

Socially, Prof. Fairbanks is a member of the Knights of Honor, and Scotch
Clan, and politically he is a stanch Republican. He has the esteem and respect
of the people of the county; has held the office of county commissioner for
eighteen consecutive years ; and has recently been elected for two years more.
He is a man of great executive ability, broad and liberal views, a logical reasoner,
an impressive speaker, and his methods regarding educational work, are unique,
orderly, and systematic.

Married, Sept. 3, 1856, in Sudbury, Mass., Angie Bowker, who was
born there, June 13, 1832. She was the daughter of Samuel N. and
Marj' (Earl) Bowker, who were of Scotch- Welsh origin, their ancestors
being among the early Puritan settlers. She received the best in-
struction obtainable in New England schools, attending the New
Ipswich academy, as well as a select school in Boston.

(358), Artemas VII, Amos VI, Joshua V.Jonathan IV, Jonathan III, George II,

Jonathan I.

Born in Readsborough, Vt., Oct., 1802.

His parents both died in his early childhood, and he was cared for by his
grandmother Whiting, and by his uncles, Caleb, Danforth and Daniel Whiting.
They were poor, like all others of that time, and he had poor advantages. About
1816 the Whitings left Vermont, and went to Onondaga and Cayuga Counties,
N. Y. About 1823 David Fairbanks was taken to Cattaraugas Co.. N. Y., by his
uncle, Caleb Whiting, a preacher, and he lived a year or two with Capt. John
Fairbanks. Few men in that county ever did more hard work than he, especially
in clearing land, but his calculations failed. He took jobs, and was generally
unfortunate. The mantle of his staunch integrity, however, fell upon his children
and grandchildren, and some of them have achieved marked success in the
world.

Born in Rose, N. Y., Dec. 20, 1 824. Went with his parents to
Michigan, when 12 years of age, and, with his father and younger
brother, built a log house in the woods, which was located on a forty
acre piece of Government land which was bought for $50, and was
their home for many years. He worked at home, attending school in
the log school house, near by, during the winter months, studying
evenings by the aid of light furnished by burning hickory bark and
pine knots. At the age of 20 he taught a district school for $7 per
month.

He spent two or three years in teaching, and preparing himself to enter upon
the study of medicine. In the autumn of 1845, he entered the office of John C.
Gallup, M. D., of Fenton, and in March, 1848, he received his Diploma from the
Medical Department of the Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. He
then settled in Grand Blanc, Genesee Co., Mich., where he soon secured a large,
practice. After nearly seventeen years of close confinement to professional duties
he removed to the City of Flint, Mich., where he has resided and practiced his
profession up to the present time. In June, 1804, he responded to a call from the
Governor for volunteer surgeons, to assist in caring for the sick and wounded
soldiers near Petersburg, Va., without pay, and at a sacrifice of professional
business.

740. DAVID FAIRBANKS, of Payson, Utah.

(3.-U), Joseph VII, Joseph VI, Joseph V, Joseph IV, Jubez Ill, Jonas II, Jonathan I.

Born in Peru, Vt., Mar. 14, 1810 ; died in Payson, Dec. 14, 1895.

He moved with his parents to Sandy Hill, N. Y., and thence to
Bergen County, N. J. He joined the Church of Latter Day Saints,
(whose doctrine is commonly called Mormonism) in 1842. In the
Summer of 1844, with his family he moved to Nauvoo, 111., accom-
panied by his father and mother, also three brothers and a sister,
these four latter, also, having embraced Mormonism. Two of the
brothers, however, never went to Utah, but on to California, and one
to the Mexican War. This journey was made by team.

After Joseph Smith, prophet and president of the Church, was assassinated,
in 1844, the Mormons made preparations to journey westward, and in 1S40,
David and family, his father and mother, with others of their faith, traveled west
as far as the Missouri River, and called their first permanent camp, Winter Quar-
ters. The place is located six miles north of Omaha, on the west bank of the
River, and it now bears the name of Florence. Crops were raised that year at
Winter Quarters, to provide food for their perilous journey to the Rocky Moun-
tains. Their camp was divided into wards, and David Fairbanks was appointed
a bishop to preside over one of them. The people were then in the depths of
poverty, being driven from their homes by mobs; 500 of their able-bodied men
had enlisted in their country's service, and their wives and children were left

behind to be cared for by others. David's labor during the winter of 1840-47, was
to provide log cabins for soldiers' families, widows and orphans, and to help and
succor the sick and destitute. At Winter Quarters, in the month of February,
1847, his father Joseph died.

In the spring of 1847, six hundred families were chosen to follow the pioneers
to the Rocky Mountains, and his was one of them. They arrived on the site where
Salt Lake City now stands, October 6, 1847 ; after a march of over 1,000 miles-
over long stretches of plain, beset by savages and wild beasts, — over barren
wastes, — through mountain defile, and at last a spot was found where to rest
their weary feet, not a paradise, however, but one of the most desolate regions in
the heart of the "Great American Desert."

David Fairbanks was one of the first Justices of the Peace elected in Utah.
He took an active part in many of the stirring events in the early settlement of
Utah — was an explorer and pioneer in all that the term implies. He moved South
from Salt Lake, and was one of the founders of Salem, and later, one of the early
settlers of Payson, at which place he lived for many years. He followed the
occupation of farmer, and held a number of offices of trust, both ecclesiastical and
municipal.

Born in Sodus, Wayne Co., N. Y., Oct. 20, 1829.

He received a common school education, applying himself also to
study at home. At the age of fifteen he was apprenticed to a brick-
layer. The year following he went to Rochester, in his native state,
where he completed his apprenticeship. His extraordinary ability
and energy at this early period was well illustrated in the fact that from

the position of bricklayer's apprentice he stepped immediately into the
position of book-keeper in a flouring mill, where he was admitted to a
partnership inside of a year. In 1855, he went to Chicago, entered
into a grain commission business with David Dows & Co., of New
York, as their Western representative. His connection with this
firm extended over a period of ten years, when he finally became
financially interested in a lard and oil refining enterprise, furnishing
the capital for the erection of the refinery, and becoming a member
of the newly organized firm of Smedley, Peck & Co., subsequently
N. K. Fairbank & Co.

The force of character and ability that Mr. Fairbank has displayed in his
business life, which have brought him wealth and commercial standing, have also
been potent factors in advancing the prosperity of Chicago. His career as a pub-
lic spirited citizen, is well known throughout the West, and is marked by a breadth
of spirit, and an absence of selfishness, not always characteristic of owners of
private fortunes.

The enterprises for building up Chicago and for beautifying the city, and for
adding to the comfort, pleasure and happiness of its citizens are so numerous
and diversified it is possible to mention only a few of them in this brief sketch.
Conspicuous among them is Central Music Hall building, at the corner of Ran-
dolph and State streets.

Hut his good hearted efforts have not been limited to providing for the pleas-
ures of the upper classes of society. The poor and the neglected have had
abundant reason to appreciate his large benevolence and his practical sympathy.
The Newsboys' Home of Chicago, an institution of great value to the community
and a charity which many a homeless boy prizes, was some years ago heavily
mortgaged, but he engaged in the work of raising the money to release the Home
from its burden of indebtedness, and it goes without saying that he succeeded,
and this useful institution is therefore today free from incumbrance.

The St. Luke's Hospital was another institution which enlisted his most earn-
est and active philanthrophy. When the effort was made to replace the old, in-
convenient, and insufficient building with a commodious structure, he came
forward and gave twenty-five thousand dollars, and thus inspired a liberality
among his immediate associates that soon secured the needed sum to complete
the work. He took an active part in soliciting subscriptions for this object,
raised the money to build the new hospital, and from that time to the present has
been a strong friend, liberal patron, and faithful officer of the institution.

The Chicago Club, Professor Swing's Church, the Illinois Fish Commission,
the Theodore Thomas Concerts, and the Festival Association are a few among
the many public institutions and enterprises that owe a large share of their suc-
cess, if not in some cases their existence, to his public spirit and broad-minded
citizenship.

of John Andrew and Helen Smith (Beeckman) Graham, of New York

Born in Tyringham, Mass., Aug. 20, 1817. Removed with his
parents to Coventry, Ohio, in 1826. His father died before he was
eleven years old, and about a year afterward he had the misfortune
to lose the use of his lower limbs, so that since that time he has been
unable to walk a step. But he says of himself that if he had " no
more get and push than some men have who are blessed with full
physical powers it would have been an act of mercy for some one
to have shot him long ago."

He says, " I was born poor, but have held my own pretty well. I have, how-
ever, a nice little place of 28 acres with good buildings on it, but it is not home
since my wife died, and I am living with my children."

After the death of his father, his mother being quite an expert in weaving,

supported herself and her four children in part by that occupation. He used to
do her spooling and quilling and assisted her in knitting and sewing. Before he
was twenty he learned the tailoring business and became very skillful in that line.

In 1S36 he made a public profession of religion, and united with the Disciples
of Christian Church. On account of the scarcity of preachers he was pushed for-
ward and soon entered the public Ministry of the Gospel, and has gained consid-
erable reputation as a preacher, and is now, even in his advanced age, called upon
to speak almost every Sunday. •

logical Seminary. Missionary in India since 1846 ; permanent
address, Ahmednagar, Bombay Presidency, India.

He went to the American Marathi Mission in Bombay in the fall
of 1846. His work has been at Ahmednagar, Bombay, Wadale, and
since 1889 most of the time at Kodaikanal, in South India. During all
these years he has been only three times on furloughs to the United States, and
he hopes to end his days in India. During his first years there he did much
literary work in connection with the management of the Mission Press in Bombay.
He has established mission stations in various country districts at a distance from
the large cities, preaching and superintending Sunday-schools, where now have
developed churches and large Christian communities. Dr. Fair bank has gained
much influence and helped the people in the country districts in which he has lived
by his study of agriculture and introduction of implements and methods adapted
to make their labor more efficient and productive. He has given the people an
object-lesson in his experimental farm, which bore larger crops than those of his
neighbors. This he did not only to help the people financially, but to promote
self-support in the village churches by producing a thrifty farming community.
Dr. Fairbank also has done much for music in India. He translated, composed,
taught, and encouraged it. He also has had a strong liking for natural science,
and studied and wrote much along that line. His studies have helped him to re-
tain a freshness and alertness of mind which makes him even at the age of seventy-
four a very acceptable preacher, both in English and Marathi. In the community
where he has lived he is looked up to with reverence and affection by all classes.
We have condensed the above from a letter to a Bombay paper signed "R. A. H.,"
which we presume to be the Rev. Robert A. Hume. He says: "The secret of
Dr. Fairbanks usefulness lies, of course, in his character, of which the first trait
is transparent truthfulness, and the second is sympathy. These traits have been
connected with versatile gifts. His truthfulness makes men trust and honor him.
His sympathy has led him to appreciate all good traits in the Indian character,
and to like the Indian people more and more." Dr. Fairbank is father of a family
of missionaries; his two sons are working in India; his eldest daughter, Mrs. T.
S. Smith, is in Ceylon; his third daughter, Mrs. R. A. Hume, is at Ahmednagar;
and other daughters are pursuing their education in America, hoping to return to
India as missionaries.

Jonathan 1.

Born in Oakham, Jan. 13, 1825; removed with his parents in
1837 to Illinois. Lived in Diamond Grove and Joy Prairie, and then
removed to Jacksonville, where he died, Feb. 7, 1 893.

He entered Illinois College when quite young and was a promising student;
completed his junior year, when the call of duty led him to leave college and go
home to take up life's burdens.

Was for many years in partnership with his brother, Daniel W. of Jackson-
ville, as merchant and trader. They did quite a large business in the village of
Concord ; they purchased many thousand hogs for the packing house in Beards*
town and elsewhere, and did considerable packing on their own account, and they
were agents for McCormick reapers and mowers. In the later years of his life he
lived in retirement in his beautiful home one mile south of Concord.

" He was a man very generally confided in by the people of his neighborhood,
and he was always faithful to the confidence reposed in him. He was god father and
administrator for the whole vicinity, and hundreds of thousands of dollars passed
through his hands as such, and the estates of which he was administrator were al-
ways successfully managed and no taint of the slightest unfairness ever clung to
him."

For some years previous to his death he was a director of the First National
Bank and had considerable voice in the management of its affairs.

" He was a man of fine abilities and acquired quite a fortune during his active
years in life, yet he was never too much occupied with his affairs to do good, but
was always ready to bestow a favor and give of his means whenever proper ob-
jects presented themselves. His whole life was peculiarly unselfish." " In busi-
ness circles, in the neighborhood and in the church, wherever he went, he was
useful and beloved."

He married I, Oct. 4, 1847, in Jacksonville, Hannah B. Carter,
daughter of Ebenezer Carter. She died Mar. 28, 1863.

He married II, Mary Lucy, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Saf-

Born in Oakham, Jan. 13, 1825; removed in 1837, with his

two brothers were almost inseperable ; they lived in the same places,
worked together, were associated for some years as partners in busi-
ness, and died the same month.

He studied for some time at Illinois College with the intention of entering the
ministry, but poor health compelled him to give up the idea. He followed teach-
ing for some years and then carried on a store in Concord with his brother.
About 23 years ago their partnership was dissolved and he removed to Jackson-
ville, and embarked in business as a dealer in agricultural implements, which he
relinquished but a short time before his death. I le was a deacon in the Joy Prairie
Congregational church, and after his removal to Jacksonville he held the same
office in the Congregational Church there, and was Superintendent of the Sunday
School. For many years he was a trustee of Illinois College, and was one of the
stanchest and strongest supporters of the Institution. He was a member of the
City Council of Jacksonville ; chairman of the committee which had charge of the
construction of the city water works.

" The very name (says a correspondent) of D. W. Fairbank car-
ried with it the confidence and esteem of his fellow men." On his
death appropriate and highly commendatory resolutions were adopted
by the Trustees and Faculty of Illinois College.

He married, Aug. 21, 1850, Sarah Epler, daughter of John Epler,

FAIRBANKS GENEALOGY.

812, Hon. JOHN HENRY FAIRBANK, Petrolia, Ont., Canada.

(433), Asa VII, John VI, John V, Thomas IV, Jabcz III, Jonas II, Jonathan I.

Born in Champlain, N. Y., July 21, 1831. Resides in Petrolia,
and is a banker, merchant, oil producer and refiner, and a farmer.
He has been a member of the Canadian Parliament.

The following sketch of his career was written by himself in an off-
hand letter, perhaps without a thought that it would be published.

The liberty is taken to print it verbatim, on account of its vivacity
and vigor, and because it affords a pleasing contrast with more solemn
biographies and obituaries.

" I was good enough to be born very early on the morning of July 21, 1831,
near Rouse's Point, N. Y. I received some education at the Champlain Academy
N. Y., and more, hoeing corn and driving oxen. I seemed adapted to oxen. My
boyhood pride was in a yoke of white steers which I had trained from the time
when, as weaned calves, they snorted milk up my shirt sleeves, until they could
make the fastest time on the steer record.

" At school I got on fairly well with geometry and chemistry, but I had no use
for grammar or it for me; I considered" I loved, he loved, she loved, they loved"
a waste of time, told that way.

" I lost my beloved father at eleven, and my most excellent mother usually did
as I wished her to. There are few mistakes open to boys or men that I have
failed to discover. If I had any brother or sister I think we would have found
them all. At the age of twenty-one I came to Canada and followed surveying. I
admired Niagara Falls, also one of its daughters, which annexed me to Canada.
In 1801 1 came into the Canadian oil fields and remained in them as a producer
and refiner of Petroleum. I have given much " light to the world," and lubricated
many journals of manufactures and commerce. I also became engaged in banking,
merchandise, and farming. I always liked farming, provided I could make enough
some other way to make farming a success. My taste was always military, but I
never commanded anything larger than a brigade of three companies of firemen.
I spent four winters in Canadian Parliament, and consequently know when a con-
stituency is hard pressed, and how little material a legislator can be made out
of. At the end of this time, my constituents seemed to need me at home, as they
did not send me again, though I was willing to go."

He married, Sept 1, 1855, Edna Crysler, daughter of Hermanus
and Edna (Cook) Crysler, of Niagara Falls, Ont., who was born May
11, 1829. She died in Pasadena, Cal., Mar. 7, 1896.

also in the same company, all of them served with distinction and
credit to their State.

The following extracts from Minnesota's History of the Civil and
Indian wars attest the valuable service rendered by their company.
On one retreat particularly, being pursued by a rebel force of cavalry,
4t the history " records as follows :

*' Col. Wilkin sending out Company G, as rear guard and flankers. They
performed this duty admirably during the afternoon, and by their cunning, and
proficiency with their guns kept the enemy at a safe distance ; towards night they
had a sharp skirmish with a squad of rebels, near a house on a hillside. The
Indians and half breeds, crept up and opened fire, yelling and sending forth war-
hoops, as if upon their native heath, much to the astonishment of the Confed-
erates."

A general mention of the company appears in Minnesota's His-
tory as follows :

"Company G was recruited at St. Cloud (Minn.) from Aug. 10 to Aug.
22, 1802. A considerable number of the men were Chippewa Indians and half-
breeds. On or about Sept. 3, 1802, the company proceeded to Fort Abercrombie
(Dacota), then besieged by Sioux Indians. The day succeeding their arrival,
they attacked the Sioux, and drove them away from the position they had occu-
pied for weeks, the Sioux Indians retreating towards Big Stone Lake. The In-
dians of this company did valuable service as vedettes scouting over the country,
traveling at night, and lying concealed and on watch during the day time. While
in the South, Company G gained a high reputation as skirmishers and flankers,
in which service they were never equalled."

The principal battles the company was engaged in, are Guntown, or Hrices
Cross Roads, where it lost fourteen men and one officer; battle of Nashville in
1804, the company there capturing seventy confederates and four officers, a rebel
flag, and arms ; the siege and capture of Spanish Fort, in Mobile Hay, Ala., 1805,
and Hattle of Tupelo in Mississippi in 1804. No mention is made of minor en-
gagements in which this company was engaged.

The " efficiency " of the company was in a great measure due to the vigilance
and loyalty of the above members of the Fairbanks family.

Born in Rouse's Point, N. Y., Dec. 19, 1852. At an early age,
he decided to devote himself to the medical profession, and after
obtaining a common school education, he attended the Academy in
Champlain, and afterwards Franklin Academy in Malone. He then
taught school for a time, and thus earned money that materially
assisted him in pursuing his medical studies.

He began the study of medicine in the office of Drs. G. G. and L. C. Dodge,
of Rouse's Point, and in the spring of 1871, attended medical lectures in the
Albany Medical College. The sickness and death of his father in the fall of 1872,
prevented his attendance at college that year, and during the winter his time was
taken up teaching, reading, rolling bandages, and dressing minor wounds, in the
office of his Preceptor. He returned to college in 1873 and 1S74 ; was graduated
in the latter year, Dec. 22, three days after he was twenty-two years old. His

823. WILSON HENRY FAIRBANK, Warren, Mass.

(439), Asahel VII, Asahel VI, Jonathan V, Thomas IV, Jaber III, Jonas II,

Jonathan I.

Horn in Warren, Apr. 3, 183(5, and has always lived there.

The history of his life is given in J. D. Reed's book of the Tele-
graph Men of America," from which the following abstracts are
taken :

" When seventeen years old he left school to assist his father in the lumber
business. In 1856 he took his first telegraph contract to furnish poles for the
American Telegraph Company, delivering to the company over nine thousand
poles in forty-five days, five days ahead of his contract time, and from that time
made telegraph line-building his business and ambition. His next telegraph
work was for the Independent Telegraph Co., furnishing poles, by contract, then
joined the United States Telegraph Co. as Supt. of Construction. In 1864, with
A. J. Baldwin as partner, he took the contracts to build " Insulated Lines Tele-
graph " from New York to Washington, and throughout the West. After build-
ing a first-class line to Washington, the Western contract was annulled, when with
others, Baldwin & Fairbank organized the Monongahela Valley Telegraph Co., in
March 1865, and built the line from Brownsville, Pa., to Pittsburg, Pa.; on
reaching Pittsburg, in 1866, they organized the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph
Co. W. II. Fairbank iV Co. took the contract to build all the lines of this com-
pany, to establish all offices and furnish the same, thus delivering a complete
working plant to the stockholders. They built two lines to the East over the
Alleghany Mountains, one on the National road to Baltimore and Washington,
the other over the Pennsylvania Railroad to Philadelphia. They also extended
the lines South and West to Cincinnati and Chicago.

Mr. Fairbank again entered the telegraph field in 1876, when Messrs. Jay
Gould, Gen. Eckert, I). II. Bates and others commenced the extension of the
lines of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Co. He was employed to locate the
lines and buy the poles from Louisville, Ky., to New Orleans. This line, of 963
miles, was completed in 93 days, the fastest construction work which had ever
been done. In 1877 the Continental Telegraph Co. was organized. E. Middle-
ton & Co. took the contract to build the lines from New York to Philadelphia,
Fairbank having full charge of all construction and disbursements. This was one
of the best constructed lines in the country up to that time. When the American
Union Telegraph Company was organized, he was one of the first in the field, and
at one time was running successfully twenty-one different gangs of men, and
built thousands of miles of first-class lines. He also built sixty miles of what is
known as Gen. Eckert's line, Jersey City to Philadelphia, considered the best
ninety miles of telegraph line in the world. When the work was completed, he
received a valuable souvenir as an acknowledgment of his services. On the con-
solidation of the Companies, in 1881, he became Supt. of Construction for the
Mutual Union Telegraph Co., and after building some two thousand miles he was
appointed Gen. Supt. of Repairs and Construction.

In July 1882, he resigned his position to take charge of the Postal Telegraph
lines, and built for that company a very superior structure, from New York to

Chicago and St. Louis, from Buffalo to Pittsburg, through the Oil Regions, and
from New York to Washington. After completing the Postal Telegraph Com-
pany's lines, Mr. Fairbank was appointed by the United Telegraph lines Gen.
Supt. of Construction and Repairs. He went South in August 1884, for the Bal-
timore & Ohio Telegraph Co. While there, he built a line from Cairo, 111., to
<Ialveston, Texas, and from Houston to New Orleans, La., some 1,100 miles,
completing the work in about five months. In June 1885, he was engaged by
the American Telegraph and Telephone Company, as Gen. Supt. of Construc-
tion, to build the long distance telephone lines, using 45 to 90 foot poles, and
twenty to one hundred copper wires. He remained with the Long Distance Tele-
phone Company over six years with full and entire charge of all construction of
this section of the great plant of the American Bell Telephone Company, which
is the best constructed Telephone line in the world. Ill health compelled him to
leave the Construction business, and he retired to his old home in Warren, Mass.

° With a curious, quiet native force, power, order, ability to handle masses of
men, he has made his work known in almost every State. He had the tact and
intelligence, by which rights of way were secured, by which formidable obstruc-
tions were overcome, the sturdy, dogged, sleepless fight that finally wins, which
enabled him to take a contract for a thousand miles of line of a dozen wires, and
hand it over, a clean, unincumbered plant into the company's hands. The accu-
racy of his accounts were never questioned. In Nov. 1895, he was elected as
republican representative to the Legislature, from the Fifth Worcester District.
He was re-elected in Nov. 1896 ; and served on important committees.

He is a member of the Town Board of Selectmen, a Mason, Odd Fellow and
Granger. He is President and life trustee of the Warren Public Library which
stands on the site presented by him to the association — and takes an active in-
terest in anything pertaining to the good of his native town, or state.

He married, Sept. 27, 1865, Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Simon
H. and Mary (Eaton) Sibley, of Warren, who was born Jan. 16, 1846.
They have no children.

863. Hon. CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS, Indianapolis,
Ind.

(474), Loriston Monroe VII, Luther VI, Luther V, Joshua IV, Jabez III, Jonas II,

Jonathan I.

Born near Unionville Centre, Union Co., Ohio, May 11, 1852,
and lived on the paternal farm until he entered the Ohio Wesleyan
University in 1867, from which institution he was graduated in 1872.
During his senior year he was editor of the college paper. After
leaving the University he was agent of the Associated Press in Pitts-
burgh and Cleveland, and during this time, he continued his legal
studies, and was admitted to the bar of Ohio by the Supreme Court
of that State, in Columbus.

In June 1874, he removed to Indianapolis, Ind., where he has since resided
in the active practice of his profession. He has taken always a very active inter-
est in the public welfare of Indianapolis and has ever preserved great regard for
the success of his Alma Mater, in which he is heartily encouraged and aided by
his wife, who shares the same feeling. Since 1884, he has been a trustee of the
Ohio Wesleyan University, and some years since, built largely at his own expense,
a gymnasium for the university. Politically he is a Republican, and has taken
an active and influential part in the councils and campaigns of his party.
In June 1892, he was elected chairman of the Republican State Convention
held in Fort Wayne (Indiana), shortly after the nomination of General
Harrison for President, in Minneapolis. He discussed the Republican platform
made in Minneapolis, in a clear and comprehensive address, in which " protection,
reciprocity, honest money and an honest ballot " were declared to be the essence
of Republican faith ; he denounced in eloquent language the gerrymander of the
State of Indiana, and declared " there could be no rest for Republicans, until the
thousands of electors thus disfranchised, were re-invested with the rights of citi-
zenship." The effect of this speech upon those who heard it was electrical, and
brought him into still greater prominence as the leader of Indiana Republicans.
In 1893 the Republican members of the Indiana Legislature held a caucus, and
though in a hopeless minority, owing to the gerrymander of the state, their ac-
tion could only be a form, they nominated Mr. Fairbanks for the office of U. S.
Senator by acclamation. The Indianapolis Journal said, " Mr. Fairbanks has
served his party well and faithfully. In the sense that the nomination tendered
him last night is a tacit recognition of his leadership, it is an honor well bestowed
and richly merited." The tone of all the speakers, who presented his name to
the Indiana legislature as the Republican nominee, shows plainly the hold he
has gained upon the confidence and esteem of his party.

In 1896 Mr. Fairbanks was sent as delegate-at-large to the Na-
tional Republican Convention at St. Louis, and was elected Temporary
Chairman of the Convention. The speech he delivered on this occa-
sion attracted great attention, and was received with cordial approba-
tion, as announcing the sentiments, and declaring the principles of

the party. In January 1897, he was elected to the U. S. Senate from
Indiana, for the full term of six years, and on the 4th of March, took

war, except a short time when the prisoners were kept in Savannah and other
places to prevent their re-capture by Sherman's army on its march to the sea.
The hardships endured in the " Rebel Hells" completely broke down his consti-

At the age of six years he evinced a taste for music which was
cultivated as circumstances favored, and at the age of eight years he
played an organ for the sunday school, and soon for the church he
attended, taking lessons from his mother and other teachers. He
went to Flint, Mich., when he was twelve years of age, and from that
time till he was seventeen years old he was employed by several of
the city churches as organist, playing meanwhile in a city band.

At the age of seventeen he entered the Michigan University, and while there
played for the chapel services, and for the Episcopal Church.

In 1873, at the age of twenty one years, he was graduated from that Univer-
sity, and the following year took the degree of A. M.

Subsequently he received instruction from Mason & Thayer in Boston, Mass.,
and was then engaged as teacher of music in the Flint City public schools. He
was there employed till ill health compelled him to resign. Regaining his health
sufficiently to warrant it he engaged himself to the music house of Kimball & Co..
of Chicago, as their traveling agent. Restored to health in part he was again
employed as teacher of music in the city schools of Flint, and while there he was
appointed by Governor Kegole, of Michigan, to the position of Deputy Commis-
sioner of Immigration and removed to Detroit. After two years' service as
Deputy Commissioner and Commissioner, he took charge of the business of the
" Lime Island Manufacturing Company," as Secretary, and resided on that island
in St. Mary's River. After a residence there of several years he returned to
Chicago, where he has been employed by Root & Sons, and by the Bradbury Music
House, writing and publishing, in the meantime, church and public school music,
and playing a pipe organ for some church. Other interests have at times engaged
his attention, but he has made music his principal business most of his life. He
has been teaching in the Chicago High School for three years.

He married Hattie Van Riper, Nov. 0, 1874. No children.

part in all the engagements of the regiment. After the death of his
father in 1803, he went with his mother and the rest of the family to
Concord, N. H., where he was employed as a watchman in the prison.
Afterwards he was keeper or overseer in the prison in Providence,
R. I. Then he went to sea for awhile and on his return learned the
granite cutter's trade at which he worked for a few years. Subse-
quently he went to work for the Manchester, N. H., Gas Light Co.,
and was rapidly promoted to the position of Superintendent. He is
now Superintendent of the Holyoke Gas Light Co.

He was born in Conewango, Cattaraugus County, N. Y., Aug.
29,1860. His parents removed to Fredonia, Chautauqua County,
New York, when he was one year old. There they resided until he
was nineteen, except for two years spent in Kansas. He attended
the Fredonia State Normal School until the fall of 1 879, when he
entered the Boston Normal Art School. A year and a half was spent
there, but the work was finally given up because of the over-taxing of
his eyes. Returning to Fredonia, he was graduated from the Normal
School in 1881. The following spring he went to California. After
a year or two of out-door life, his eyes began to improve so that he
taught school during 1884-5 in the mountains of northern California.
Returning east in September 1885, he entered the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor, for the purpose of carrying on studies in
Geology and Mineralogy. The summer of 1887 was spent on the
Geological Survey of Minnesota. At the close of that year he re-
turned to California because of overwork. He was married the fol-
lowing year, and returned in the fall to complete his course at the
University, his wife also entering as a student. The summer of
1889 was devoted by him and his wife to studying the geology of the
upper Lake Huron region. Three months was thus spent sailing 800
miles in a small, open boat. He was graduated in 1890, after three
years and a half of actual study, and immediately obtained a position
as geologist in the California State Mining Bureau, located in San
Francisco. The most of the time during the following four years

was spent in carrying on field geology over the State. About twenty
scientific articles have been published in the " State Mining Bureau,"
and in the Geological Journals of America, including, "The Bulletin
of the Geological Society of America"; "Bulletin of the Depart-
ment of Geology"; " University of California " ; " American Journal
of Science"; "America Geologist"; "Geological Journal of Chi-
cago " ; " Science " ; " Mining and Engineering Journal." The most
important result of the geological work yet done has been to estab-
lish the fact of the much greater age, than had been supposed, of
an important and extensive series of rocks in the Coast Ranges of
California. He is a fellow of the Geological Society of America.
He received the degree of B. S. from the University of Michigan
on graduation day. Pursuing a course of study at the University of
California, he received the degree of Ph. D., May 11, 1896. His
Thesis was, " The Geology of Point Sal."

MARYLAND FAMILIES.

About forty names, Fairbank and Fairbanks, appear in the Baltimore Direc-
tory, and there are fifteen or more families living in other parts of the state, which
are not included in this genealogy. Circulars were sent to all of them, but not
one was answered. Then six special letters were addressed to selected individuals
in Baltimore, asking for information. Two only replied, and they were ignorant
of their ancestry, and expressed their indifference and unwillingness to make any
effort to discover it. One repeated the stale tradition that " three brothers came
over " and settled in Talbot County. No better success attended the efforts of
the compiler to obtain information about those who lived in the country. There-
fore, the entire list was abandoned, though they may all be descendants of Jona-
than, of Dedham.

WILLIAM FAIRBANKS, of Rhode Island.

Laborious researches and the expenditure of some money, have
failed to reveal the antecedents of this man.

He has a large number of descendants, but only those named below have
been found ; that is, the Glovers ville, N. Y. families, consisting of Niles H. Fair-
banks, now, if still living, 88 years old, his children and grandchildren. Of these,
Miss Minerva Fairbanks, and Minerva F. Fonda, her niece, have done their best
to furnish information, but they could not go back of William and his family.

The circumstances lead to the inference that William was a grandson of
Jeremiah (15), of Bristol, R. I., but his parentage has not been discovered. Ac-
cording to his old family record in possession of the Gloversville people, he was
born on the Island of Prudence, R. I., in 1740 or 1745 (year blotted). The
town records, it is said, were destroyed by the British in 1812.

He married (on the Island of Prudence) in Portsmouth, R. I., Sept. 5,
1766 ( ? ), Priscilla Remington, who was born Apr. 23, 1741. Their children were :

1. Mary, born Oct. 24, 1707.

2. Jeremiah, born Dec. 9, 1709; he married I, Ruth , married II,

Abigail . He died in 1811, and was the first to be buried in the

old farm lot in Perth, five miles from Amsterdam ; his wife Abigail is
also buried there. He had children as follows : William, John, Alfred,
Edwin, Delilah. Alfred lived in Providence, R. I., for many years,
married, and had a son Robert.

banks married Catherine, daughter of Stephen and Ruby (Weeden)

Briggs, of Westerly and Phoenix, R. I. She was bom about 1820-6;
they had four sons and three daughters."

3. Remington, born Apr. 16, 1773; married Dorcas Helms, of R.I. She

was the daughter of Niles Helms, a weaver of coverlids and that kind
of cloth. After the destruction of the homes on the Island of Pru-
dence, by the British, he with several other families, formed a colony,
and removed to New York, taking a boat up the Hudson to Albany,
thence to Amsterdam, where they settled. Their children were (a)
Sally, who m. Willet Helms ; {6) Ruth, who m. Jesse Marsh ; {c) Polly
or Mary, who m. Conrad Smith; (d) Betsey, who m. Jacob Wagar;

SAMUEL FAIRBANKS, of Apalachin, N. Y.

It has been impossible to trace the ancestry of this man, as none
of the descendants thus far heard from, know anything of his antece-
dents. It is possible, and very probable, that he was a son of Samuel,
the eldest son of Samuel, of Ridgefield (87), as there was a slight trace
of this man having married in New York State.

He was born April 8, 1780; died in Franklin, Pa., July 22, 1845. He mar-

THE OLD FAIRBANKS HOUSE.

DESCRIPTION OP ONE OF THE OLDEST HOUSES IN NEW ENGLAND.
A COLONIAL KITCHEN IN PURITAN TIMES.

CUPROAKDS AND C LOSETS. TREASURES FOR THE COLLECTORS.

[From a Boston Arsws/>afer, /88j.]

All too rapidly the landmarks of the old colonial New England are disap-
pearing, and it is only here and there that one finds even a trace of the early days
of this country, that are just beginning to be filled with interest for the true
American people. It is only until recently that we have begun to feel that we
had a history ; everything has been so near in time that it was impossible to gain
any idea of the true value of events. But, as the years have passed, things have
begun to assume something of the correct historical proportion, and a feeling of
regard is felt for what represents the time of hardship and trial in the very begin-
ning of the nation's life. As a people, the Americans have been always too im-
patient with the old, too anxious to get it out of the way, and to replace it with
the new. Consequently, it is very rarely that any family is found to have occu-
pied the same house for two hundred and fifty years, as has been done by the
sturdy race of Fairbanks, who, through eight generations, have been born, lived
and died in the quaint old house on East Street in Dedham. There is one sur-
viving member of the family, to whom the homestead last descended, Miss Re-
becca Fairbanks, who has lived there for several years, and she feels now that she
can no longer be carekeeper of the old house and its contents, so that, very soon,
unless either the town of Dedham, or some person or persons interested in pre-
serving the old place as a historical memento, shall purchase it, the old house
will probably follow the footsteps of so many of its contemporaries, and be
pulled down to make way for something more modern and pretentious. It would
be a great pity if this were to happen, for there is so little left of the old time that
everything that does remain should be cherished carefully.

HUNDREDS OK VISITORS

■

go every summer to see the old house, but there are many more, living, too, with-
in easy distance from it, who know nothing at all of its history, or think that it
has any more claim for consideration than any house not half its age. It stands,
nestling cosily in a grassy dell, just at the corner of East Street and the short
road across the meadows that lie between East Street and Dedham, known as the
" Willow Road," because for more than half its way it is fringed on both sides by
luxuriant willow growths. This road is a "modem convenience," and its con-

struction was frowned upon by the three old ladies who, twenty years ago, lived
together in the famrly homestead. It made the road to the village shorter by
half than the old way, but that had no weight with the inflexible women, who
had inherited all the decision and firmness of a long line of Puritan ancestors.
They protested against the building of the road, but when it was built, in spite
of their protests, it is said that they declared they never would use it, and they
kept their word. Constant attendants of the old Congregational Church in
Dedham, they went persistently the longest way round, rather than, even for their
own convenience, show any toleration for what they so honestly opposed. " Set
in their ways," the neighbors called them, and so they were, "for conscience
sake." There will be more to tell about them later on. The House is

interlace over the mossy roof and make a most perfect shade. It is a sunny cor-
ner, and in the winter, when the leaves are off the trees and shrubs, every corner
is filled with brightness.

The builder of this house, Jonathan Fairbanks, came from Sowerby, in the
West Riding of Yorkshire, England, in 1033. The family was an old one even
then, and among the treasures still preserved in the old house ate pieces of china
and furniture that were old when they crossed the sea with Jonathan Fairbanks,
thirteen years after the Mayflower found its way to the New England shores.
This founder of the Fairbanks family in America settled first in Boston. He
lived in that town for three years, and at the end of that time he went to Dedham
and built him a house, the one that, standing still after a lapse of two hundred
and fifty years, is the subject of this sketch. The town which the Puritan Fair-
banks had chosen for a home was settled in the year 1035, and was called Con-
tentment. The grant of land which it then comprised embraced the present towns
of Medfield, Wrentham, Needham, Bellingham, Walpole, Norfolk, Franklin,
Dover, Natick, Norwood and parts of Sherborn and Hyde Park. It was incor-
porated on the Sth. of September, 1030, and named from Dedham in Essex County,
England, the name Contentment not suiting the residents. It was in this year, the
year that saw the incorporation of the Norfolk County town, that Jonathan Fair-
banks built his house. The windows and furnishings came from England, the
frame was of solid oak, and the house was built in the thorough fashion that is
now almost unknown. The windows had the same lozenge-shaped glass set in
lead frames that we see in the old English houses to-day. These windows were long
ago replaced by wooden ones, but the original windows are still preserved, al-
though some of them are quite badly broken ; still enough remains to give an
idea of the quaint look which they gave to the house. Jonathan Fairbanks lived
to a ripe old age and died in 1008, leaving six children, of whom the eldest, John,
was left in possession of

THE Oi l) HOMESTKAD.

John Fairbanks is mentioned in the early history of Dedham as being sent
by the selectmen in 1003, in company with another Dedham pioneer, whose

descendants still live in the town, Daniel Fisher, to examine the land at Deerfield,
then called Petumtuck. From him the homestead descended to his son Joseph.
The family has always been well-known and highly respected in the town, and the
name often occurs in the town annals. There has been little modernizing of the
interior of the house ; it remains in form and finish very much as it was when it
was first built. It has an ancient gambrel roof, and the sides and roof are both
moss grown, showing extreme old age. There is the old " lean-to," as it was
called, the roof of which, extending from the roof of the house, reaches nearly to
the ground. In the " lean-to " was the dairy. It looks toward the west, has low,
latticed windows, and across one side are the heavy oaken shelves which used to
hold the pans of milk. Here is the old cheese press, which did yeoman service
for many years, standing in the same corner in which it has always stood, although
it is many a long year since it has been used. The house is filled with old furni-
ture and crockery that would tempt the purse of any lover of the antique. Even
the Fairbanks' cats drink their milk out of ancient blue saucers that would drive
a collector wild with envy and desire. Oh! the cupboards and chests and boxes
in that old house ! They are a very El Dorado of delight to the fortunate one
who is privileged to look through them, under Miss Rebecca's careful and loving
guidance.

EVKRY PIECE HAS ITS HISTORY,

every article its story of association. The old kitchen, facing to the south, and
looking out over the meadows that, in the summer, are one streak of green, is the
room in which most of the interest seems to centre. The ceilings are low — so
low that a tall person can hardly stand upright in it. The beams of solid oak,
blackened by the smoke of years, give a sombre look to the room. The old fire-
place has been closed up, and a modern cook-stove has been introduced, but on
hooks across the beams still rests the old flintlock, which was brought from
England by Jonathan Fairbanks, (feneration after generation, as they passed
away, instructed their successors to keep the old family gun in the iron rests put
into the beam for it by its original owner. The fact that the gun hung in its
place until recently, shows how carefully the injunction has been obeyed. It
is a contrast to the rifles used to-day, but it has, no doubt, served its purpose
well, and been used as a defence against savages and wild beasts. It is six feet
and four inches long, and is too heavy to be lifted easily, or carried comfortably.*
The old iron lamp still hangs here. It is a sort of boat, which, when it was used,
was filled with lard oil. The wick was coiled about in the oil, the end projecting
slightly above a small spout at one side. The light that it emits is about equal
to the glimmer of a glow-worm, but it was accounted sufficient in those days,
when, in addition to its light, there was the glow from the roaring wood fire in
the wide old fireplace, the light from which illuminated every corner of the room,
and made dancing shadows on the low walls. People in those days did not use
light in the lavish fashion which we do ; they kept early hours. For all the needs
of that time, the lone dip was quite sufficient. This lamp hangs on a support,
which admits of its being raised or lowered at will, and it could be adjusted to

•This pun is now in the possession of Rev. Henry Fairbanks, of St. Johnshury, Vt., who
secured it that it might be more carefully preserved than it could he in the old house.

any height or position desired. In the daytime, it was raised so as to hang
against the beam. There are the hooks where the crooked-necked squashes and
the bunches of herbs used to hang. One can fancy the old kitchen festooned
with these, and with links of sausage and horns and strings of dried apples. The
heavy old oaken chairs still stand in this room, and the oaken tables and settle.

IN THE " KEEPING-ROOM "

or parlor is the closet where the old china is kept. Here is one piece of "old
Dutch delft," that is literally worth more than its weight in gold. It has been
broken, but was carefully mended, so that not a piece is lost, and it still retains
its quaint shape, unmarTed by nick. It is in the shape of a nautilus shell, is pure
white, with a raised shell-like design about the edge, and it is very delicate in tex-
ture. These dishes are very rare. It is believed there are but three in this
country. One is in possession of John Quincy Adams; another, it is supposed,
has become the property of a collector, and this one at the Fairbanks house, which
will probably go, when Miss Rebecca is ready, to the Art Museum in Boston. In
this closet are the pewter platters and salvers which were once the delight of the
housekeeper's heart. One of them is very old, and bears upon it the crest of
King Richard III. There is a set of blue and white plate, queer blue figures on
a white ground, supposed to be Moral, but looking very fat and funny, quite unlike
anything that is found in any botany. There are other pieces of old blue ware,
that show less white, and the ground is a deep bright blue with a high glaze.
There is a set of hand-painted china that is said to be very old, and some green
ware that is older still. Decanters of various sizes are reminders of the time when
"spirits " were as commonly seen as tea and coffee are now ; and there are quaint
little wine glasses with rather abortive attempts at engraving on them, which were
accounted marvellous fine and pretty " in their day, and which are among the
earliest specimens of engraved glass in this country. The tall japanned coffee-
pot, with the initials of Jonathan Fairbanks on the side, keeps watch over all this
closet full of quaint old china, and, by its side, fat and comfortable, nestles the
old pewter tea-pot. In vain have collectors tried to purchase even one piece of
this precious china; money was no temptation ; it could not be bought, but, if the
house is sold, the china must go, too, and it will not be long, probably, before it
is sold. A great deal of it will go to the Vermont branch of the Fairbanks family,
and so will much of the furniture, but there will be then

TREASURE TROVE FOR COLLECTORS.

Next to this closet, the most fascinating places in the house are two chambers
upstairs, where a great many queer old things are preserved. In one room, the
room in which all the Fairbanks children, for generations, were born, is the little
wooden cradle in which they were all rocked. It is by no means the luxurious
affair of to-day, but it is strong, and, like everything else, is made of white oak.
In this room is the old mahogany writing-desk, and in one of the pigeon-hole> is
a veritable ink-horn, with the old quill pen and the receptacle for ink underneath,
which could be closely covered and carried in the pocket. This is a veritable
curiosity to most persons, for they are not often seen nowadays. In the old cliest
are old laces and embroideries, old dresses made in the queer fashions of one

hundred and one hundred and fifty years ago. Here, too, are the samplers
wrought in cross-stitch, with alt the letters of the alphabet, queer figures of im-
possible flower pots, with most improbable plants and blossoms growing out of
them, and a highly moral verse of four lines in one corner. Rolls of old rewards
of merit, printed in quaint letters, with an eagle at the top, announce that Nancy
and Sally Fairbanks are commended for " good and amiable scholarship."
These bear the dates of eighty years ago, and they were treasured most carefully
by the little girls who won them, who afterwards grew up to be the inflexible
women who would n't go to meeting over the new Willow Road. But, in spite of
this, they kept their reputation for amiability, and were great favorites with the
young people, who used to visit them, to hear the stories of the olden time. And
they had a fund of them at their command, which they never wearied of telling
to their young visitors and friends. There is in this same chest

A WONDERFUL ROLL,

which Nancy exhibited on one of the school public days, as a proof of her pen-
manship. It has the alphabet in various kinds of letters, in vari colored inks ;
there is ornamental work of all kinds, that was taught as a part of penmanship
in those days ; there are old maxims and chronicled historical events — all these
form an elaborate border for the centre, which was a copy of the then celebrated
poem of *' Edwin and Angelina," written in script that, although quaint and old-
fashioned in style, is none the less as clear as print. Miss Rebecca is going to
have it framed by and by, as the most treasured relic of the past which she pos-
sesses. Nancy Fairbanks was accounted a fine scholar, and very accomplished
for the time in which she lived, and, since her death, it has transpired that she
would have had " literary aspirations," had such things been the fashion in her
day. She did write verses, but the only relative to whom she confided the fact
begged her to keep them to herself, else " folks would think she was weakening."
The relative told Miss Rebecca of this after her aunt's death, and she looked in
vain for the poetry. The dear old lady must have destroyed it after her rebuff by
the unappreciative relative. The old bandboxes, which would appall the belle of
today, if she was obliged to carry them about with her, are filled with old-
fashioned bonnets, queer enough, but of such straw as no one sees the like of
nowadays, and thick ribbons that are beautiful even in their age, heavier and
richer than any that could be bought nowadays at any price. The other room is
a veritable museum. Here is an old covered oaken chest of the time of Eliza-
beth, that came over with Jonathan Fairbanks, filled with English goods ; here
are the old four-post mahogany bedsteads with canopied tops, the ox saddle, the
funny old fire-irons, the grain shovels, cut by hand out of one solid piece of oak,
the brass warming-pans with elaborate engraving on the covers, the foot stoves,
which used to be filled with hot coals and carried to meeting to keep the feet
warm during the two hours' service in the barren meeting-house, guiltless of fire.
It is a queer mixture, old England and New England together, and it is a real
matter of regret that they are all to be separated from the old house and from
each other, after so many years of association. It is a genuine museum of curi-
osities, and every object has an association with a past that is full of interest.

FAIRBANKS GENEALOGY.

A LAST APPEAL

FOR THE FAIRBANKS HOUSE.

To the Editor of the Transcript :

That famous old landmark of the Colonial and Revolutionary days, the old
Fairbanks House in Dedham, is doomed to destruction. It is of historic interest
as being one of the oldest houses in America. Built in 1630 by Jonathan Fair-
banks, the founder of the Fairbanks family in America, ninety-six years before
Washington was born and but sixteen years after the landing of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth, its quaint gables and picturesque architecture, as well as the magnificent
elms surrounding it, mark it as one of the most delightful of the old landmarks of
New England. Thus it stands today in a state of good preservation, with its
ancient furniture intact, having withstood the vicissitudes of war and the ravages
of time for more than two hundred and sixty-one years. During this whole period
it has always been owned and occupied by the same family. It has a most inter-
esting history. The framc'was brought from Yorkshire, England, in 1633. at which
time Jonathan Fairbanks, with his wife and six children, came to America. There
being no roads at that time, there is little doubt that they sailed up the beautiful
Charles River, and, attracted by the resemblance of the country to the English
parks, chose the site of the house on which to build their home in the New
World. The homestead has always been the property of their descendants, one
of whom, Ebenezer, Jr., was a member of the Minute Men of 1776. and a man of
considerable note. The house was left to his children, and descended finally to
Miss Rebecca Fairbanks, who was obliged to sell it two years ago to John Crowley,
a real estate dealer in Dedham.

The picturesque old house is too well known to need further description
here. Its sloping roof reaching nearly to the ground, the low doorways, and the
whole effect of the house set among the trees, is exceedingly picturesque. During
the summer throngs of visitors from Maine to California visit this famous dwell-
ing. The adjoining property has been laid out into " Fairbanks Park," and this
old house will soon be doomed to destruction, as it stands on a valuable corner
lot containing 38,000 square feet of land. Mr. Crowley offers to sell the property
for just what he paid for it, $4,500. if an effort can be made to save it from de-
struction.

The purpose of this appeal is to try to arouse in the members of the patriotic
societies here in Massachusetts a sense of the duty which they owe to themselves
and to their country to try to preserve for Massachusetts this interesting relic of
the Colonial days. There are 5,000 members of the patriotic societies alone in
Massachusetts. If each would contribute a little, the preservation of this famous
old landmark would be assured. Miss Rebecca Fairbanks leaves the house on
May 1. If the house can be preserved she will leave in it the ancient furniture
and relics identified with its history. Will the " Sons " and " Daughters " of
Massachusetts allow this famous old house to be destroyed ?

If the preservation of the house can be assured, a chapter of the Society of
the Daughters of the Revolution, which is incorporated under the laws of the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts, will be responsible for the care of the house,
or a board of trustees may be chosen from members of the different patriotic
societies. It is hoped that this appeal will find an echo in the hearts of those to
whom the history of their country is dear, and that a generous response will be
made to help save to Massachusetts this famous relic of the Colonial days.

All patriotic citizens of Massachusetts are asked to contribute, and the names
of the donors will be preserved for future reference in the old house.

Any questions will be cheerfully answered and subscriptions, however small,
will be received and acknowledged in the Transcript by

Mrs. Nelson V. Titus,

Treasurer Fund for Preservation Fairbanks House.

Boston, April 3, 189".

THE FAIRBANKS HOUSE SAVED.

To the Editor of the Transcript :

It is with much satisfaction that I write to say that the preservation of the
" old Fairbanks House " in Dedham is assured, thanks to the patriotism and
generosity of two ladies, members of the Society of the Daughters of the Revolu-
tion. In response to my appeal in the Transcript of Saturday, the mail of
Monday morning brought me not only the offer from Mrs. J. Amory Codman and
her daughter. Miss Martha C Codman, of the entire amount of the purchase
money, $4,500, but also checks to the amount of nearly $1,000 more.

The latter will be returned to the donors with many thanks. The preserva-
tion of the " old Fairbanks House " is now assured, and Miss Fairbanks may be
permitted to occupy it if she so desires-
Thanking the ladies and gentlemen who so nobly responded to my appeal
to save this famous old landmark, and the Transcript for its cordial indorsement
of this patriotic work.

FAIRBANKS CHAPTER,

"DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION," ORGANIZES; SECOND MEETING HELD

UNDER " OLD GLORY'S " FOLDS.

On A^ril 12, 1897, the Fairbanks Chapter of Dedham, of the Society of the
Daughters of the Revolution was organized in the Old Fairbanks House, by Miss
Sarah E. Hunt, Regent of the State Society of Massachusetts, assisted by Mrs.
\V. H. Emery, Vice-Regent. Mrs. Charles H. Fisher of Hyde Park, Mass., was
appointed Regent of the new Chapter. Mrs. J. Amory Codman and her daughter

present, besides other Regents of the different Chapters of the society, through-
out the State, and many Dedham ladies with invited guests. The Fairbanks
Chapter expects to hold monthly meetings in the old house.

The following is clipped from a Boston paper : —

Fairbanks chapter, Daughters of the Revolution, held a pleasant outing in
Dedham yesterday afternoon. Sixty members and guests from other chapters
gathered around the historic old Fairbanks house on Eastern avenue, where, un-
der the folds of a large American flag, the chapter held its second meeting since
organization.

Mrs. Charles H. Fisher, regent of the chapter, presided, and speeches were
made by Mrs. Sarah E. Hunt of Salem, state regent, upon "What Good Comes
to Us and What Good Comes to Others from Our Society "; Mrs. Nelson V. Ti
tus of Hoston.whowas instrumental in saving the old Fairbanks house from dem-
olition, upon "Save the Historic Houses of the Historic Places " ; Mrs. Emma
O. Perkins of Amesbury, upon " Chapter Work " ; Mrs. H. E. Emery of Roxbury,
upon "The Objects of the Society"; Mr. Frederick F. Hassam of Hyde Park,
upon " The Efforts of the Men to Save the House"; Mrs. M. W. Allen of Wal-
pole, upon " Reminiscences of the Fairbanks Family."

After singing America, a collation was served, and then the ladies visited the
old Avery oak, the rooms of the Dedham Historical Society, the old training field,
. Pitts Head and other places of historic interest in the town.
